The original game started off life as a Game Jam prototype, developed in August 2013, before releasing as a commercial game in February 2017. For now, we’ll continue stuffing all sorts of strange critters and surprises into Silksong. The last thing we want to do is make promises, only to see things slide. For Silksong we’re running on Cherry-time over here, that means both ‘When it’s ready,’ and ‘When it matches the quality and scale of Hollow Knight.’ Just know, we will talk about a release date when we’re 100% certain we can hit it. “Thanks to everyone for asking and we’re sorry that we still don’t have anything conclusive to say. They also pledged to their 2158 Kickstarter backers that despite Silksong having expanded in scope to be a full-scale sequel, rather than simply an extra DLC for the base game, they’d still be honoring their pledge to offer it to their backers at no extra charge.Īs for the precise release date of Silksong, Team Cherry has remained fairly tight-lipped, opting to say nothing rather than give a release date that they’re unable to meet.
