Hollow Knight Silksong studio Team Cherry already has plans for DLC, with extra content planned in the months and years to come.
Yesterday, a release date was announced for the sequel after seven years in development. Co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen spoke to Bloomberg about creating Silksong, and what’s coming next.
“Launching it is obviously quite exciting,” said Pellen. “What comes after for us is equally as exciting.”

“The most interesting thing now is what can we add to it next,” added Gibson. “We got a plan. Admittedly, some of the plans for that stuff are kind of ambitious as well, but hopefully we can achieve some of it.”
Despite its lengthy development, Silksong hasn’t been in development hell. Instead, hype for the sequel snowballed, resulting in sales of the original game skyrocketing. In turn, this provided the financial freedom for Team Cherry to take its time.
Hollow Knight Silksong will be released on 4th September, across PC, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S (including Game Pass).
