Hollow Knight Silksong: Is the Deep Docks Area What was Forest of Bones?

Is this Hollow Knight cut content going to be part of Silksong?

When talking with Game Informer in 2018, just after the release of Hollow Knight on the Nintendo Switch, Team Cherry explained some of the challenges in creating their first actual game after a couple of less-than-successful game jams.

As somebody who spent over 50 hours in the world Hallownest, among the most fascinating parts of the post to me was that they removed some locations from Hollow Knight as Team Cherry felt the video game was getting too huge.

One of these areas was called the Forest of Bone, and seeing the image they shared, it could have become one of the most unforgettable.

The majority of locations in Hallownest felt varied but had enough similarities. There were particular locations that stuck out more than others like the green harmful fumes of the Fungal Wastes or the pinkish color from the Crystal Mines or the rainy blue locations of the City of Tears, however, Forest of Bone leaps off the screen at you. The way the molten lava falls from above into the rivers below to its glowing ashes that dance around the screen.

Hollow Knight is near perfection. The video game was created with reason, it’s a rotting world that is gloomy. However specific breaks from the darkness of Hallownest would have been a welcome reprieve.

Having currently developed the area, the question is will Bone forest belong to SilkSong? We have to assume that it will be because you do not invest all that time creating something gorgeous simply to toss it away. Nevertheless, based on what we have actually seen so far, it might have been held for Silk song due to just how much of a focal area it might be for the sequel.

Based on the Silk song trailer, there seems an area that resembles the Bone forest, which throughout a Nintendo Treehouse event in 2019 was called Deep Docks. Combine this with the advertising art that features plenty of glowing embers, it seems likely we will be able to explore this area
