Team Cherry is riding high on the success of Hollow Knight Silksong, one of the most eagerly awaited releases in gaming history. Released just three months ago, this captivating game has not only sold millions of copies but also snagged five nominations at The Game Awards, including the coveted Game of the Year title. Despite the immense success following seven years of development, the small yet ambitious studio is not slowing down. Team Cherry is already delving into downloadable content (DLC) for Silksong and contemplating ventures beyond the realm of Hollow Knight.
The Future of Silksong: New DLC on the Horizon
In a recent interview, Team Cherry revealed plans for exciting DLC content for Hollow Knight Silksong. Ari Gibson discussed the enigmatic Steel Assassin Sharpe, noting, “Just waiting in the wings. Waiting to arrive is probably the best way to say it.” These potential additions were initially set aside as the game already offered an abundance of content. Yet, Team Cherry is eager to polish these elements and reintroduce them to eager players.
When asked about the Village of Lions, Gibson assured, “We will make sure to deliver on all of our obligations,” hinting at thrilling possibilities for new content. However, the timeline for these updates remains uncertain. As Gibson pointed out, “We didn’t plan seven years for Silksong,” suggesting that future releases may also take time to perfect.
Beyond Hollow Knight: Team Cherry’s Next Adventure
With Silksong’s success firmly established, Team Cherry is contemplating their next creative endeavor. Gibson and William Pellen, the core duo behind the studio, have hinted at ideas for future projects. Pellen remarked, “We haven’t thought that much about the time, but we’ve thought about the ideas that we have.” While the prospect of producing another Hollow Knight game would be welcomed joyfully, the team is also excited to explore new worlds and concepts.
Gibson emphasized the desire to branch out, stating, “We have said we’ll go elsewhere,” while maintaining the distinctive essence of their games. The studio aims to explore different genres and themes, potentially creating stories that resonate with fans in novel ways. **The desire to innovate and expand beyond the beloved Hollow Knight universe is a clear driving force for Team Cherry’s future endeavors.**
Gibson concluded with an intriguing thought: “It’d be interesting for us to explore the same things we’re interested in but maybe in a slightly different genre, slightly different theme, and how that affects the stories we come up with.” As Team Cherry moves forward, fans can eagerly anticipate both new experiences and familiar adventures from this talented studio.
