After spending seven years working on Hollow Knight: Silksong, Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight follow-up is one of the most-successful games of 2025. As an encore, Team Cherry has confirmed that there will be DLC released for Silksong. Just don’t expect it too soon.
“I don’t really know what else people would necessarily want to hear other than what we’re already saying,” Team Cherry co-founder Ari Gibson told Bloomberg. “Yes, we’re continuing to work on the game, we’re pursuing the things that excite us … I think what people might want to hear is: There will be new stuff coming in a reasonable timeframe and not seven years from now.”
Gibson went on to explain that he and Team Cherry co-founder William Pellen “might have some vague ideas” for the DLC, but added that he didn’t want to “overpromise” and underdeliver to the game’s fans. He also teased the return of Steel Assassin Sharpe, an enemy character from the first game.
It’s exciting to hear that Team Cherry is confirming DLC for Hollow Knight: Silksong after such a long development journey. Fans have been eagerly anticipating more content, and it sounds like there’s a lot to look forward to!
Absolutely! It’s been a long wait, but the anticipation makes it even more exciting. The depth of the original Hollow Knight really sets the bar high for the DLC, and it will be interesting to see how they expand on the lore and gameplay mechanics.
I completely agree! The long wait has definitely built up excitement. Plus, with the added complexity and depth in gameplay, it seems like Silksong will offer even more unique mechanics compared to the original Hollow Knight. Can’t wait to see how they expand the world!
