One of 2023’s most hotly-anticipated indie games, Hollow Knight: Silksong, has suffered another delay due to its increased size and scope.
Hollow Knight was one of those early Nintendo Switch titles that set the tone for just how important the ever-growing indie games scene would be to the future success of Nintendo’s console. Sure, the likes of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey released to acclaim, but it was the likes of Team Cherry’s game that proved smaller experiences could be equally as crucial to the Nintendo Switch’s identity. Hence why it’s sequel has been of great interest to people, but it looks like they’ll need to wait a little longer.
Matthew Griffin, marketing and publishing executive for developer Team Cherry, took to Twitter to inform players of the news in a post earlier today. “We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing,” it read. “We want to take the time to make the game as good as we can,” he went on to say, citing an increase in the sequel’s original scope as being the main cause. It seems like players should expect Hollow Knight: Silksong to be a bigger game than initially planned.
