Forever Entertainment has been hard at work on Hollow 2 recently, a sequel to last year's first-person survival game Hollow. A brand new trailer has been released today to give players a taste of the action.
It's safe to say that we weren't the biggest fans of Hollow when we played it last February. We felt that its visuals, controls, story, and more left a lot to be desired, and it would appear that the team has been taking these things into account for this new effort.
The PR team behind the game tells us that while Hollow received mixed reviews from press, it actually sold really well on Switch (generous sales might have helped here). For Hollow 2, Forever Entertainment has "tried to implement player feedback and added much more dynamic gameplay", hopefully resulting in a better overall package.
It'll be interesting to see how this one performs when it arrives later this year; the game will actually be arriving on Switch before other platforms, but we don't have a solid date just yet.
Did you play the original? Would you be interested in an improved sequel? Let us know down below.

meh doesnt look that much different to the first one
Will this be the game to finally dethrone Superman 64?
I only picked up Hollow because it was on sale stupid cheap. It was trash. If my purchase in anyway contributed to this sequel coming about, I sincerely apologize, and feel shame.
"Implementing player feedback" tends to sound more worrisome in this day and age of rabid fanship at its most vocal and subscription-whoring pseudocritics amazingly failing to stick to objective flaws even in the medium whose interactive nature should make it easier to discern such flaws. But as usual, in the creators' discretion we trust - if not that, then what to trust at all? Let them fix and change what they see fit to fix and change. The first game may have got dogpiled by the rest of my Switch library and backlog for now (especially with the later arrivals of stuff like Outlast, Phantaruk and Perception, plus Observer and Bendy and a bunch of REs on the wishlist and Layers of Fear 2 on the horizon), but what I've played of it left me with no negative impressions. Even if I were absolutely forced to nitpick, I'd probably just prefer a 2D map instead of the one the game offers.
I thought Hollow was a horror game, this one looks more like a FPS now haha
The video was too much of an assault on my eyes and ears to finish the damn thing.
The first one has gone on sale super cheap many times but I still refuse to go anywhere near it.
I was going to get Hollow after I thought i looked the nearest to HalfLife we would get, but then reviewed damn awful so didnt bother.
Now watching that video, my eyes hurt and it looks even worse.
Maybe I will have to wait for the review for a possible purchase.
Not a chance! Bought the first one... it hurt me deep inside it was so bad.
The trailer gave me a headache... is it really supposed to look that nauseating?
Who approved this trailer? It’s an disorientating assault to the senses. 8 seconds in... done.
I thought the first hollow game was quite underrated and as indie horror games go was a respectable effort. I will definitely be cchecking out the sequel
Will keep an eye on it, could turn out decent, though i hope it doesn't feature the same, horrific "music" (if you can call it that) as this trailer, which is one of the worst i've seen in a long time.
Considering reviews for the first one and the insane price drop, I doubt this one will have any success even if it happens to be good.
@beazlen1 Room enough for two on that throne!
The first game was pretty boring. The lack of enemy variety was the biggest issue for me. I am not sure how they're going to go from a horror game to an Action FPS.
Killing Floor anyone?
uuuuggggghhhh so edgy... i can't... i can't...

edgy the hedgy
Does this really look so bad according most people? Looks reasonable to me. It is no Doom or Wolf 2 but I have seen far worse 3D graphics and performance on Switch...
Looks like it could be ok, but they better take their time to make it an engaging fps as they have Doom and Wolfenstein to compete with.
Such nice, relaxing music...
Hollow one never saw that come physical?
