An Official Version of a Hollow Knight Mod Would Be Huge…

Summary

Official multiplayer mode could enhance Silksong's gameplay with larger maps and unique quest opportunities.
Including a multiplayer battle mode would offer an exciting addition and set a standard for solo and multiplayer experiences.
Adding a multiplayer feature in Silksong could lead to engaging scenarios and make it stand out from its predecessor.

Since Hollow Knight: Silksong is still in development, there is still time for the developers to implement features that will enhance its gameplay. The game's predecessor had many things that made it an enjoyable experience, and players were also provided the option to mod the game to make it even better, either for themselves or for everyone else. Silksong could benefit from turning some of those modded features into an official part of the game, but the developers must be careful when choosing which ones to use. If it's meant to help take the sequel to new heights, then one particularly incredible mod for Hollow Knight should be highly considered.

Hollow Knight: Silksong's predecessor is no stranger to mods, as many fans were always looking for a way to make the game feel even more fresh or exciting than it already is. An individual who goes by the username Extremelyd1 created a modified feature that saw one of the biggest changes ever: the ability to play with others online. The mod changed the whole dynamic of the game, allowing players to work and explore the world of Hallownest together, barring a few limitations. A multiplayer feature is something that Silksong could benefit from and, with the game still being under development, Team Cherry still has the opportunity to consider implementing it.

Why a Multiplayer Feature Would Benefit Silksong

There is the potential for Hollow Knight: Silksong to explore an official multiplayer mode, but some would question why the game would even need it. Here are a few reasons that can help explain why it would make sense for the sequel to have it:

The sequel's world having a much larger map than its predecessor means areas can be designed to accommodate more than one player, allowing for more engaging environments.
The new quest feature can be improved to allow for optional missions that require more than one player, with the conditions of them being more difficult but with greater rewards.
It allows the developers to consider creating optional areas that can only be accessed via multiplayer, allowing for more interesting content and inspiring community engagement.

While multiplayer is an obvious feature that Silksong should include that its predecessor skipped, implementing it is difficult, especially considering the limitations. With the sequel being in development for over 5 years with still no official release date, perhaps there's still time for Team Cherry to include it in the final product.

How Having a Multiplayer Feature Could Lead to Another Big Change for Silksong

There are already enough features in Silksong that help it differentiate from the original Hollow Knight, but a multiplayer feature can help take the sequel even further. But if it's going to have a mode that allows people to play together, then it should also allow for the possibility of them going up against each other. Some would want to test out their skills against others who have gone through the same trials and tribulations as they did, and an online multiplayer battle feature would be one of the best ways to help give them that.

Such a mode will require some balancing, such as how many participants there can be or what can only be used during battles, but it would still make for an interesting and exciting addition to the sequel. If executed well, Silksong could become a Metroidvania that many from the same genre will use as the standard for amazing solo and multiplayer experiences.

Hollow Knight: Silksong should capitalize on its development in a big way, and one of them is by working on adding a multiplayer feature. Being able to play with others in the potentially large kingdom of Pharloom could lead to many unique and exciting scenarios that not even the game's predecessor could have accomplished. So long as Team Cherry sees the potential and viability of adding the mode, then there's a good possibility of it being added in the future.
