New Hollow Knight: Silksong soundtrack preview and development update
- Thread starter GJ
- Start date
It's def not coming anytime soon. They're a super small team and Silksong is supposed to be bigger and have all new enemy types and content.
HK was announced and kickstarted in 2014 with a beta in 2015.
Game actually came out in Feb 2017.
And they've been working on Silksong ever since with all that experience under their belt, and with some of the concepting and such being done even before HK's release considering this was originally gonna be a DLC for it. One of the areas in Silksong is even a scrapped area from Hollow Knight that they probably salvaged a lot from.
Idk, I understand that Team Cherry is a very small team but you'd have thought that HK and its free dlc releases would take longer than they did from that info alone. They work extremely fast for such a small team, and when they say they already have more enemies and music made than HK launched with, it doesn't sound like it still has over a year left to go, especially with how polished the E3 demo was. I'll be fine with it if it really does take that long, of course, but I'm optimistic for a Summer or early Fall release.
The volume of content was something the original Hollow Knight was constantly praised for. It wouldn't surprise me if this was late 2020 or early 2021 assuming Team Cherry tries to aggressively outdo what they delivered in the original.
Hollow knight was one of the most magical experiences I had with a game, they have earned so much damn trust for me. Y'all take your time, you earned every bit of love you get
The sample tracks are fantastic, as was to be expected given the gorgeous music in the original Hollow Knight. Team Cherry can take as long as they want to polish Silk Song up. I'm expecting nothing but greatness. As far as I'm concerned they created the best Metroidvania game ever made with the original Hollow Knight.
Fuck, this shit is so good. Honestly 2020 is so packed already, I'd be ok with them just doing an early 2021 release
One of the best parts about Hollow Knight was how atmospheric it was and this music nailed it just as well. Can't wait to see how they've improved on the formula and more tracks like these aren't making the wait easier.
Both fantastic tracks, can't wait for the game! I love the first track Lace especially, and the more melancholy Bonebottom track gives me Joe Hisaishi/Miyazaki vibes. Really nice.
Which is frankly absurd, I still don't understand how that game was developed with a team of 2-3 people in basically under 3 years.
But yeah, I don't really expect it to hit in 2020. Godmaster DLC came out at the end of August last year so it probably doesn't have much more than a year of development time at this point.
WOW! This is just beyond my expectations. Hollow Knight was already my Game of the Generation, and this is shaping up to exceed it in every way.
Sometimes I wonder if their small team actually enables more depth and cohesiveness than if they were a larger group. What they achieve is simply mind-boggling.

So it could possibly release early 2020 if it's been in development for 3 years already
I'm sure it technically has since it was originally going to be DLC that was announced way back in the Kickstarter, but I sincerely doubt any major work was done on the game envisioned as a full fledged sequel until later last year. They were working on ports to multiple consoles and producing multiple DLCs of content after Hollow Knight's initial release.
If they can get it out next year I wouldn't be too surprised because it's Team Cherry after all, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
It's nice to have an update, although the game still seems quite a ways off.
Those music tracks are incredible.

it's funny that if this comes holiday 2020 it'll be easily the best launch game for next gen consoles
Listened to Bonebottom on repeat yesterday at work. I love all of the melancholy HK tracks and this might be the best one yet.
Shouldn't have opened this thread, I finally manged to start working on my backlog and now all I can think of is replaying Hollow Knight again
I cannot match a lot of instruments on how they look or what they are called; but that cello (or something I believe it to be) in Bonebottom between 00:52 - 01:30 really feels like a surface of water trying to hold back when wind blows over it and then needles are walking on water with each one generating a ripple, then something in the water becomes clearer between the ripples..a remembrance to the city of tears.
