The publishing house "Bombora" announced that it has acquired the rights to the book "Explorer Hollow Knight: Le renouveau du metroidvania" by the French writer and video game researcher David Torres.
His book is a large-scale study of how the small studio Team Cherry was able to revive the metroidvania genre.
Readers will have the opportunity to find out what difficulties the developers faced and how much effort it took to create such a modern classic.
The author tried to describe in detail the game design and mechanics that made exploring Hallownest so exciting. In addition, the publication provides a deep analysis of the lore, artistic style and that very "majestic melancholy" for which many gamers fell in love with the Hollow Knight universe.
The book is currently in the translation stage, so it is not yet clear when pre-orders should be expected to open.
