Team Cherry, the studio currently hard at work onHollow Knight: Silksong, has expanded its trademark for “Fearless Fox.” There is no word so far on whether the trademark directly relates toHollow Knight: Silksong, or if it is tied to an unrelated and unannounced property.
Hollow Knight: Silksongis the upcoming sequel toHollow Knight, which was one of the most successful indie titles to arrive during the last few years. AlthoughHollow Knight: Silksongskipped most major 2022 eventsand doesn’t have a firm release window established, gamers looking forward to its release remain hopeful it will arrive sometime before the end of 2023. Nearly six years have already passed since its predecessor wowed audiences with its challenging but rewarding Metroidvania gameplay.

Team Cherry first filed a Class 9 trademark for “Fearless Fox” in 2019 in Australia, which placed it in a category related to computer game software, and more recently the developer has added expanded filings to cover toys, games, and related products and topics. That flurry of activity suggests Team Cherry remains committed to “Fearless Fox,” and may even be preparing to officially announce something. WithHollow Knight: Silksongsitting pretty as one of themost anticipated games of 2023, it’s easy to suppose the term somehow relates to that game. However, it’s also possible Team Cherry is developing two games at once.
The originalHollow Knightreleased on PC in 2017, with a Switch version following in 2018. Team Cherry partnered with Fangamer to bring its indie darling to PlayStation 4 in 2019, but versions for other consoles were canceled. In comparison,Hollow Knight: Silksongis poised to make a much larger splash.Hollow Knight: Silksongis now a day one Xbox Game Pass game, which should allow an expanded audience to experience its madness and beauty right from the beginning.
Gamers eagerly looking forward to what’s next for theHollow Knightseries are already excited byhowHollow Knight: Silksongis improving upon the original. For example, the inclusion of numerous NPCs and a talking protagonist suggests Team Cherry’s follow-up may include a great deal more lore to expand its fantasy universe. Some of that lore might easily relate to the “Fearless Fox,” which could be the name of a key antagonist or even a trustworthy companion. Until Team Cherry decides to share more details, all gamers can do is speculate and look forward to the day they get their hands on whatever the studio is creating.
