Hollow Knight's lead playtester is working on another Metroidvania, but its Kickstarter campaign promises it's being influenced by loads of other classics too.

Hari 'Graig' Dimitriou, who worked with Team Cherry on the original subterranean adventure and a little bit of its long-awaited sequel Hollow Knight Silksong, is now making Roc's Odyssey, a side-scrolling, comic book-style, post-apocalyptic Metroidvania that has almost everything you loved in Hollow Knight: intense fighting, slick platforming, a zig-zagging map, and secrets tucked away in every corner.
