Team Cherry, the minds behind the eagerly awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, has finally broken their near two-year silence, reassuring fans that development is ongoing.
Over the years, Hollow Knight: Silksong has garnered a reputation akin to that of “vaporware,” often compared to notorious projects like Duke Nukem Forever and Half-Life 3 due to the lack of substantial updates.
Recent Speculation
Speculation among fans flared up recently when co-creator William Pellen became active on social media, leading many to believe that marketing announcements might be on the horizon.
However, it was clarified that such assumptions were unfounded.
Message of Reassurance
Matthew “Leth” Griffin, Team Cherry’s PR representative, reached out to Hollow Knight speedrunner fireb0rn to provide a glimmer of reassurance: the game is actively in development and will eventually be available to players.
This message, one of the most significant from the studio in quite some time, brings hope to a community that has been eagerly waiting for news since the game’s initial reveal in 2019.
Community Anticipation
Though earlier hints and even ESRB ratings sparked excitement, the lack of a concrete release schedule continues to leave fans yearning for more clarity.
This situation keeps the community buzzing with anticipation, even in the absence of immediate updates.
