Good factor I’ve an extended weekend forward of me, as a result of it’s going to take time to discover Hollow Knight‘s crumbling Metroidvania world of brooding goth bugs – now greater than ever, as its third and final free expansion is out now. Formerly Gods And Glory, builders Team Cherry discovered the title was taken, so renamed this bundle of latest boss battles and quests Godmaster. Fitting, because it guarantees “an incredible battle to take your place once and for all amongst the gods of Hallownest”, a lofty aim for somewhat bug. Massive as it’s now, Hollow Knight is discounted till subsequent week.
As with earlier expansions, there’s some new pleasant NPCs to satisfy, new quests to go on and extra of the godly dream-realm to see. While the Godmaster enlargement encompasses a bundle of latest endgame bosses (carry Nailmaster Sheo out of retirement for one final exhibition match), there’s additionally a number of lengthy and hard boss rushes to finish. Rather than make you battle all the bosses (and there are lots of them) again to again, you are taking them on in waves, timed for every string of battles. There’s additionally a number of new achievements, together with one for “112% game completion”.
While the discharge of Godmaster makes Hollow Knight formally ‘complete’ now, Team Cherry nonetheless have plans to increase on the game. Teased in Kickstarter blog updates, there’s an enlargement within the works, giving gamers an opportunity to manage recurring rival character Hornet. While the three expansions up to now have been free, it seems that Hornet’s story could value cash, which – whether it is anyplace close to the standard of the principle game – I’ll gladly pay.
Hollow Knight is out on Steam, Humble and GOG and discounted to round £7.25/€9.89/$9.89, though it seems to be fractionally cheaper on GOG proper now. It’ll stay low cost till Monday, August 27th.
