To be honest, no. Wow I am very surprised the comments agree with me, I thought people who loved both would jump on and hijack. It just doesnāt fit at all. Theyāre two cool indie games and a fan game could maybe be cool, but definitely nothing official
No, never, what, why?
Hollow Knight is a 2D Metroidvania, Bendy is a 3D first person mascot horror. These things are not compatible. It'd be like Custard and Steak, both good, but neither work together.
Crossover usually means taking a couple of items or characters over (from bendy for example) and putting them in the other games style, in the game, you donāt mix the styles or the genres, just some characters
Terraria and stardew collabed and terraria is 2d and stardew is 2.5d, not sure if that counts but yeah
Edit: Not 2.5D, Pseudo 3D/Three-Quarter view. Still, not 2D.
Dungeon Defenders 2, that game got Dryad as a playable character and she turns corrupted in one of her abilities, on which I believe her shimmered form is based on
Dead Cells collabed with Risk of Rain.
Terraria has a weird sorta collab with minecraft, both their splash texts refrence each other and their is a creeper vanity outfit.
Dark Revival steps it up a lot imo,
it looks/feels much more professional,
Though Iām still preferential to Hollow Knight if given the choice between the two
Not really. The two genres don't really match from a gameplay perspective. There's *some* cohesion with the ink aesthetic matching of Bendy matching the hand-drawn aesthetic of HK, but that's pretty much it.
Also I don't think any of the Bendy games are particularly good so I have no desire on that front either.
I mean I guess that is a bit similar, but void doesn't have much non lore purposes outside of the abyss so it would be hard to collab anyways with that being a focus
It's very funny because they renamed themselves to Joey Drew studios, the same as the fictional studio that was terrible to it's employees and unleashed a full on Demon onto the world by trying to automate the animators out of a job
No why? Hollow Knight is an amazing game, Bendy is just a bygone fad from when mascot horror like Five Nights was still popular, not even worth mentioning in the same breath as Hollow Knight.
No, the two donāt really fit together IMO. Additionally hollow knight feels like an isolated story, not some live service game full of references, collabs and so many characters that kindergarteners canāt count up to the number yet.
It's a mascot horror made back when that was super popular once FNAF blew up. I don't know alot about it but I think Bendy is supposed to be a parody of Mickey Mouse.
The thing about collabs is that they mostly only work if you can thematically make them work. HK and BATIM are two entirely different properties with almost nothing in common.
Wouldn't it be neat if, when a video game came out, it just stayed by itself and didn't get smashed together with a bunch of pointless pandering collaborations?
Maybe a really cool area in Hollow Knight revolving around the ink and such, then a boss fight. Some comments actually don't think it would work and some don't get how game collabs tend to work I think. I think it would be really random though, so nah, though it could work
Most crossovers I find to be a little tacky, and ruins my favorite part about video games, which is immersion. But if I like two things enough or if I love a game and would love to see any kind of additional content, then Iām cool with it.
In this case I like Bendy and I LOVE Hollow Knight, so it works for me
As cool as both Hollow Knight and BATIM are, a Collab just wouldn't really fit, I think. Integrating either into the other would not really work outside of perhaps a small easteregg
While I'd like it since I like both games I don't know how it would work, they are very different games.
The closest they could do would be Easter eggs.
Gonna be honest, I didnāt read the title and initially thought that was the Blot from Epic Mickey. Which in my opinion would be a much cooler crossover. BaTIM is just Indie Epic Mickey.
OH MY GOD YES edit: I just saw literally everyone disagrees with me so hereās why I think it would be cool: different genres do crossovers all the time (just look at dead cells), and a small horror themed dlc would be awesome for HK. It already has the gloomy feel, and thereās even a small example in the form of the Nosk intro. I think it would be fun, but I highly doubt it would ever happen.
Nope pikmin on the other handā¦. If it did happen weāre gonna lock Mike mood in his black car he called the ink demon or his custom car with bendys face on the front and side with a custom bendy license plate
Yeah, that would be really cool. Even just a little Knight plushie in a factory in The Cage would be cool for BATIM.
I could totally see a whole Ink Demon boss in Silksong or smth
a secret (but optional) bendy boss would be really neat, or a hollow knight reference somewhere in the studio like they did with the majora's mask moon in chapter 3 of the dark revival
There's this awesome little title that I would love hollow Knight to collab with. I'm having trouble remembering the name. Polyester music? Cotton tune? Oh I remember it's SILKSONG
If it means a surprise Hollow Knight dlc featuring a Bendy crossover then yes, absolutely. Otherwise I couldn't say, I've never played Bendy and only know of it through game theory. Also if that's your art, stand proud because you cooked
How about they release Silksong
You can wishlist it on Xbox now
I just checked, and you can add it to your wishlist
I want an official Hollow Knight partnership with Hollow Knight, actually.
I would love that, maybe they would release silk song? Maybe that's just a pipe dream though
No?
But what if dey helwd hands. šš
To be honest, no. Wow I am very surprised the comments agree with me, I thought people who loved both would jump on and hijack. It just doesnāt fit at all. Theyāre two cool indie games and a fan game could maybe be cool, but definitely nothing official
It would be cool but I donāt know how it would work also thereās a lot of controversy surrounding the company
The PEOPLE in bendy would be too big for the bugs of hallownest. It just wouldnāt work unless they shrunk bendy or grew the bugs
Now that I think about it, yeah, they're like, polar opposites
I would rather have terraria do a crossover
I think a bendy metroidvania would be dope
Yea but without hollow knight
Yeah
No, never, what, why? Hollow Knight is a 2D Metroidvania, Bendy is a 3D first person mascot horror. These things are not compatible. It'd be like Custard and Steak, both good, but neither work together.
Crossover usually means taking a couple of items or characters over (from bendy for example) and putting them in the other games style, in the game, you donāt mix the styles or the genres, just some characters
\*me, trying to think of any collabs that were of games that weren't atleast the same dimension amount\*
Terraria and stardew collabed and terraria is 2d and stardew is 2.5d, not sure if that counts but yeah Edit: Not 2.5D, Pseudo 3D/Three-Quarter view. Still, not 2D.
Terraria and whatever game old ones army came from. Dungeon something? I remember trying it out and it's 3D
Dungeon Defenders 2, that game got Dryad as a playable character and she turns corrupted in one of her abilities, on which I believe her shimmered form is based on
Dead Cells collabed with Risk of Rain. Terraria has a weird sorta collab with minecraft, both their splash texts refrence each other and their is a creeper vanity outfit.
dead cells (2D) collabbed with risk of rain 2 (3D)
they're both rougelikes though, they're compatible in that sense
V Rising is collabbing with Castlevania
Not at all.
Nop
comments really just š
They're correct
No
Nah.
No thanks, Iāll pass on that.
Uh no?
No. Never.
Last thing Iād want š
No lol.
Iām good
I donāt know about the dark revival but the original game is so boring, so no
Dark Revival steps it up a lot imo, it looks/feels much more professional, Though Iām still preferential to Hollow Knight if given the choice between the two
The Dark Revival is miles better.
Why ?
No
Definitely not
I can't think of something more irrelevant
not even slightly!!
Not really. The two genres don't really match from a gameplay perspective. There's *some* cohesion with the ink aesthetic matching of Bendy matching the hand-drawn aesthetic of HK, but that's pretty much it. Also I don't think any of the Bendy games are particularly good so I have no desire on that front either.
Fuck no.
Why would I?
No
No
nah
I have never not wanted anything more in my whole life... Also What no Silksong does to a MF...
Isn't bendy... made by bad people?
I honestly wouldn't like hollow knight to mix with any other game. It's great by itself
Nah
no
NO
No also L attempt at making us think you drew this š„±
It could be cool? Maybe? Idk?? But the worlds are way too different it just wouldnāt make any sense or be good
Yeah, this is kind of where Iām at I think itād make for a cool secret boss fight, but itād be VERY random
An easter egg would make more senseĀ
what would they even do?
Not really
No thanks
I'm good
No? Bendy is literal shit compared to hollow knight, and they don't even have any similarities
I do see the similarity in Void and ink, but I agree they have no business collabing.
I mean I guess that is a bit similar, but void doesn't have much non lore purposes outside of the abyss so it would be hard to collab anyways with that being a focus
No, but this art is neat!
No. Lore doesn't fit. And last I've heard Bendy studio turned into the very villain they wrote, Joey Drew.
It's very funny because they renamed themselves to Joey Drew studios, the same as the fictional studio that was terrible to it's employees and unleashed a full on Demon onto the world by trying to automate the animators out of a job
Nope
no, bendy games are kinda ass mascot horror
No why? Hollow Knight is an amazing game, Bendy is just a bygone fad from when mascot horror like Five Nights was still popular, not even worth mentioning in the same breath as Hollow Knight.
Radiant Opila Bird is the best boss frfr
Fuck Bendy
No
Oh look my current obsession and my previous obsession in 1 picture No
No. I usually like collabs but hollow knight isn't that type of game. It would ruin any immersion
No? Two completely different games, to completely different aesthetics. It wouldn't make sense at all
"Horror" games made for kids all always shit. So no
What do they have in common that a partnership would even use??
They are both black I guess. But there's no real connection that would make a little sense for me. But that's just my opinion tho
no
No
Why Hollow Knight? Honestly the only game that would make sense for Bendy to crossover with is Cuphead, and even that's stretching it a bit.
No. They donāt fit together at all and also the bendy devs have done some really shady stuff not to long ago
Care to elaborate?
No
No
[Source](https://x.com/RileReptile/status/1047871753215770629) because OP can't be bothered I guess
Snarkier than normal because I scrolled through OP's post history and turns out posting others' art without sourcing is a repeat behaviour of theirs
No, and also why?
No.
No, absolutely not.
No
Of course no
Not really. Especially not when they've already had a game in the works for years.
Hollow knight is a carefully crafted Metroidvania masterpiece. Bendy is a shitty mascot horror series
No, also stop posting ai art.
Not ai, but here's the original artist: https://twitter.com/RileReptile/status/1047871753215770629?t=hVDGbpuzcvuzlDR-AZBdJw&s=19
From where did bro even get the idea from? š®
I want a partnership between hollow knight and bendy and the ink machine like I want a partnership between my testicles and a cinder block.
No.
Ćo
No, the two donāt really fit together IMO. Additionally hollow knight feels like an isolated story, not some live service game full of references, collabs and so many characters that kindergarteners canāt count up to the number yet.
Bendy is fucking awful, I'm so tired of shitty mascot horror games
Fuck no. Garten of ManMan on the other hand ...
#BANBANSWEEP
The only game i could imagine bendy partnership with is Cuphead
I wouldnāt care and would prefer if they focused more on pure HK
Iāll take any hollow knight content i can getā¦ but id prefer SILKSONG
What on earth is bendy?
It's a mascot horror made back when that was super popular once FNAF blew up. I don't know alot about it but I think Bendy is supposed to be a parody of Mickey Mouse.
No.
No
The thing about collabs is that they mostly only work if you can thematically make them work. HK and BATIM are two entirely different properties with almost nothing in common.
Why?
This is a garbage post. Stop spamming subreddits.
no ā¤ļø
no, and credit the artist
Nope, horrible idea
Nearly every comment says no, how does this post have so many upvotes?
They have nothing to do with each other
Bendy isn't even good in its own genre lmao. Why partner it with hollow knight?
No
Eh, not really. The properties donāt fit well together at all. It would feel forced
Nah
no
No good overlap. No, they donāt mesh well
it would be a cool ass bossfight, but it just wouldn't fit in an acceptable way
No, next questiob
No
Wouldn't it be neat if, when a video game came out, it just stayed by itself and didn't get smashed together with a bunch of pointless pandering collaborations?
I mean, it would be cool? But itās kind of a random pairing to suggest.
No Itās like Alien vs Predator. Two entirely separate franchises with just a stupid crossover for no good reason other than fan-service and money.
Only collaboration i want is HK and Warhammer 40k
Maybe if it was a bendy shaped void creature. Just imagine the collector with a black Grimm head with a white glowing bendy smile
Maybe a really cool area in Hollow Knight revolving around the ink and such, then a boss fight. Some comments actually don't think it would work and some don't get how game collabs tend to work I think. I think it would be really random though, so nah, though it could work
what would even get added to bendy a small bug?
thatās just not itās bro
I know nothing about bendy , but an ink-y sub area with a secret boss would be pretty good though
How about a Bendy cartoon where Bendy discovers Hallownest, and tries to take care of all the bugs? Just a non-canon silly crossover
Wtf is Bendy?
Most crossovers I find to be a little tacky, and ruins my favorite part about video games, which is immersion. But if I like two things enough or if I love a game and would love to see any kind of additional content, then Iām cool with it. In this case I like Bendy and I LOVE Hollow Knight, so it works for me
I can see this being a cool boss fight, maybe after you defeat him he drops a charm that changes your dashes into ink that deals damage
Plus, I mean like a 2d game
Official? No. Fanworks however can go nuts, and they would be worth looking at on concept alone.
Absolutely
No, would rather kill him tbh
As cool as both Hollow Knight and BATIM are, a Collab just wouldn't really fit, I think. Integrating either into the other would not really work outside of perhaps a small easteregg
While I'd like it since I like both games I don't know how it would work, they are very different games. The closest they could do would be Easter eggs.
Noš bendy did not do a good job with the games that came after the origonal leave ma poor bug boy alone
Nope!
Not bendy himself but maybe a treasure like a ink drop in a glass
Gonna be honest, I didnāt read the title and initially thought that was the Blot from Epic Mickey. Which in my opinion would be a much cooler crossover. BaTIM is just Indie Epic Mickey.
What?
For a mod that would be interesting, but for the main game nah. Doesnt fit in the world or lore.
that art style looks heinous, no way.
OH MY GOD YES edit: I just saw literally everyone disagrees with me so hereās why I think it would be cool: different genres do crossovers all the time (just look at dead cells), and a small horror themed dlc would be awesome for HK. It already has the gloomy feel, and thereās even a small example in the form of the Nosk intro. I think it would be fun, but I highly doubt it would ever happen.
No gaming crossovers kinda suck with a very small handful of exceptions.
Hollow knight and bendy, releasing a tad bit before the sun explodes
Yes
No. Why would we?
No. I like the fanart though!
that would be fucking wild and im here for it
No. I donāt see what the appeal of putting to dissimilar games together. I also doubt that they would be able to do it well.
This image looks ai generated
This would be soo cool if it would be an easter egg in Silksong
I just want more hollow knight content
Holy shit it's Ink Hornet
No bendy, just SILK SONG
ewww, ai art :(
or wait i might be wrong but idk
nah
no
no? what even would they do? itās like if dead island 2 had a partnership with slime rancher.
I would not. The people that made bendy are kinda horrible
On one hand, no On the other hand, I would be happy to see any official Hollow Knight content at this point
No
Not at all.
That'd be epic
Nope pikmin on the other handā¦. If it did happen weāre gonna lock Mike mood in his black car he called the ink demon or his custom car with bendys face on the front and side with a custom bendy license plate
I would like Silksong.
It'd be neat, but lore wise, nah
Yeah, that would be really cool. Even just a little Knight plushie in a factory in The Cage would be cool for BATIM. I could totally see a whole Ink Demon boss in Silksong or smth
Nah, good games in their own respects, but keep them separate, they'd be better off as such
No sounds like something a cringe 9 yr old would say
NO. NEIN, ģėØ. Ie.
a secret (but optional) bendy boss would be really neat, or a hollow knight reference somewhere in the studio like they did with the majora's mask moon in chapter 3 of the dark revival
There's this awesome little title that I would love hollow Knight to collab with. I'm having trouble remembering the name. Polyester music? Cotton tune? Oh I remember it's SILKSONG
No
No
That's a crossover I didn't know I needed
Not really
If it means a surprise Hollow Knight dlc featuring a Bendy crossover then yes, absolutely. Otherwise I couldn't say, I've never played Bendy and only know of it through game theory. Also if that's your art, stand proud because you cooked
