It’s only 3 ppl on the team, so overhead is low. They only released HK because they ran out of dev money.

Now they make enough money off of HK sales to never run into that issue, and no publisher, so they have no pressure to release the game.
i saw the development team for this game doesnt even have a wikipedia article. Surprised they didn't try and expand based off the success of the original game

This pretty much what's happening. Scope creep
They're just gonna keep adding more and more stuff into the game:snoop:

I feel like no matter how good the game is, the extended delay combined with how much I've hyped the game up in my head, I'm going to be disappoint no matter what. Here's to hoping in wrong, cause how do you top one of the greatest games of all time?

If it's even nearly as good as Hollow Knight, I'll be satisfied. I think it's gonna be a monster unless they cut a lot of content. I remember Easy Allies played it BEFORE Covid, and they said it was already like a full game and very polished. I can't imagine how much they've added since then.

I’m honestly just fine with more hollow knight at this point
