Team Cherry Confirms More Content Is on the Way for Hollow Knight: Silksong
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Team Cherry has confirmed that more content is in development for Hollow Knight: Silksong, potentially including the long-awaited arrival of Steel Assassin Sharpe, though the studio remains coy on exact release details and timelines.
Following the massive launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong this past September, developer Team Cherry has confirmed that more content for the metroidvania hit is actively in development. Speaking in a recent interview with Bloomberg, co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen addressed the studio's infamous development timelines and made it clear that they are sticking to the philosophy that shaped both games. While the studio is keeping specifics under wraps for now, Gibson noted that they are continuing to pursue the ideas that genuinely excite them.
Much of the speculation surrounding future content points toward Steel Assassin Sharpe, a character originally teased in a blog post years ago who ultimately did not make the final cut of the base game. Gibson confirmed that Sharpe and associated companions were tucked away during development simply because the scope of the game was already so large, noting that the team is eager to reintroduce them once the necessary polish is applied. Beyond fulfilling past Kickstarter obligations, the developers also have fresh ideas for expanding the world further, though they are still figuring out the exact rollout timeline.
For a community that waited years through endless meme cycles for Silksong to arrive, the confirmation that Team Cherry is taking its time rather than rushing out corporate content drops will feel entirely familiar. Pellen acknowledged that the studio has no real interest in shortening development windows if it means compromising scope, admitting that both Hollow Knight and Silksong simply grew organically from small initial ideas. For now, players can expect minor technical fixes and balance tweaks while waiting to see how the developers ultimately decide to expand this beloved indie universe.
