They just released content for Neon Genesis Evangelion this year, they released several movies for it between 2009 and 2021, and the original series released in 1995, so I’d say it matches long running and still active.
Not sure about Hollow Knight, though. The first game released in 2017, they released additional content for it over a few years, and then the new game released last year. I don’t think I’d count that as long running, personally, but you made the thread.












As somebody who enjoys all 3 games immensely, you don’t strictly have to play Miles Morales. You’ll be missing some of his character growth that continues throughout 2, but a lot of the broad strokes you can pick up from context.
That said, I highly recommend playing Miles Morales.
