The highly-anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong has received a promising update from a playtester.
Hollow Knight was first released in 2017, with Hollow Knight: Silksong announced in 2019. Since then, the game has been delayed from the first half of 2023 and still doesn’t currently have a release date.
“We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can,” explained marketing and publishing lead Matthew Griffin. “Expect more details from us once we get closer to release,” he added.
In February, developers Team Cherry took to the Silksong discord to confirm they were “still hard at work on the game”. However, many fans have since speculated that the development of the Hollow Knight sequel is in trouble, due to the lack of regular updates.
Now, a playtester has reassured fans that Hollow Knight: Silksong is definitely not in “development hell”. Graig has been associated with Team Cherry for a number of years now, and explained to fans that developers missing internal deadlines is very normal (via ). However, he did admit Team Cherry needed better communication.
