Hollow Knight: Silksong has ignited the level of capital-D Discourse over game difficulty typically reserved for a new FromSoftware game. But for Team Cherry, the difficulty was just a natural outcome of Hornet being so darn cool – and anyway, you can just use the same logic the world applied to Elden Ring to avoid getting frustrated.
"Hornet is inherently faster and more skillful than the Knight – so even the base level enemy had to be more complicated, more intelligent," Team Cherry's Ari Gibson says in a book accompanying Silksong's exhibit at the ACMI museum in Melbourne, Australia. Quotes from the book were recently shared by Dexerto.
