Team Cherry finally answers to the crimes of Silksong's Bilewater: "We just love a big swamp. We wanted some kind of poison status for ages"

"It also acts as something of a final test in Act 2."

GamesRadar

Silksong devs say it's "unfortunate" their release date caused so many panicked indie delays: "We didn't even know the date until basically a week or two before"

Team Cherry was working on the Hollow Knight sequel until it was ready

PC Gamer

Team Cherry may not attend The Game Awards even though Silksong is nominated for GOTY, but they're pretty sure a different 'exceptional and broadly palatable' game will win

Either way, it's the year of the parry.

PC Gamer

Silksong devs felt they didn't 'have a lot of control' over its release date and sympathize with all the games that were delayed to avoid it: 'To some extent that probably is unfortunate'

Team Cherry was too busy finishing the game to know when exactly it would be finished.

Fire up the silkposters.

Team Cherry teases Silksong DLC and the return of a character revealed 7 years ago: "We've noticed that people would like an expansion" like Hollow Knight's Pantheon

"We're excited to reintroduce Sharpe," Ari Gibson says

GamesRadar

Silksong devs say "it's very difficult to preserve mystery these days," and Zelda 2-era inspirations pushed them toward a world you can explore "divorced from the internet"

Team Cherry devs grew up playing games in a pre-internet era

GamesRadar

Hollow Knight devs highlight a big difference between their sequel and most Metroidvanias: "The player's choice about where to go in Silksong is not dictated by what power-ups you currently have"

"It's a specific kind of lock-and-key type of progression"

GamesRadar

Silksong is shockingly cheap at just $20, but Team Cherry says it just tries to "price the games at a reasonable level for people," man

So that's why Silksong is so cheap – that, and Hollow Knight money

PC Gamer

Team Cherry says that 'if there were ever other' Hollow Knight games after Silksong, they'd all be self-contained and 'exist alongside one another'

So no Silksong 2, huh.

GamesRadar

Team Cherry hopes "if there were ever" new Hollow Knight games after Silksong, they could "just exist alongside one another" so the order you play them doesn't matter

Ari Gibson and William Pellen ponder a hypothetical Hollow Knight 3
