Hollow Knight Silksong took 7 years to create because it’s just too fun, devs say: ‘A vehicle for our creativity’

After a long, long time of waiting, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has a release date. Its developers were fairly silent during development and took their sweet time, not because of any particular issue or controversy, but because making the game was just too damn fun.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Hollow Knight creators Ari Gibson and William Pellen said the game is “a vehicle for [their] creativity,” and that no particular issue or controversy caused its long development cycle. “We were having fun... It's nice to make fun things,” Gibson told Bloomberg. Though it saw vast silent periods where the developers didn't reveal any new details about it, Silksong “was never stuck” and kept on progressing without any issues behind the scenes.
