The advertising season is basically over and one of the biggest absentees for the year in a row is the eternally anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Your developer, Team Cherry, has not shared any further information for two years, while the game was announced in February 2019. However, despite the concern of its fans, the game apparently is not in “development hell.” This term is coined for projects that remain unprogressed or still for long periods of time.
One of the ‘playtesters’ of Silksong, under the name Graig, emerged on Discord to share a small but concise message about the game. Basically stating that Silksong It is not in development hell. Not much more is known, but from that to nothing is something. The ‘testers’ are not exactly the ones who are most up-to-date in the development of a game, since their reports are the ones that lead to other corrections. Sometimes, however, the team does not apply the feedback and many of these ‘testers’ remain forgotten. It is certainly a complex job.
According to Graig, Team Cherry’s communication should improve regarding the lack of information about Silksong. The hope of its fans is focused on broadcasts such as State of Play, Nintendo Direct, Indie Showcase or Xbox Showcase. The subreddit of Silksong It is a place especially desperate for news of the successor of Hollow Knight. Likewise, there is no way to verify that Graig’s claims are true, even if he is somehow associated with the game. One can only hope it is true.
The ‘metroidvania’ subgenre is not exactly one that lacks representatives, as indie developers have taken full advantage of it. In the case of Hollow Knight, its arrival in 2017 with a mysterious and captivating insect kingdom won the hearts of gamers. A good level of difficulty convinced them completely. Silksong It was planned as a DLC, but eventually became a sequel. This lengthened the development period and currently reports are scarce.
