Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong finally have good news. After waiting for the game for years, Team Cherry has confirmed that a Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC is now being developed. There’s no release date yet, but the developers have shared a few details about what’s coming. Here’s what we know about the new content so far.
Team Cherry Confirms DLC Is in the Works
Team Cherry said they’re already working on new content for Silksong, but they don’t have a release date yet. They’re creating the DLC the same way they did with the first game—slowly adding ideas and making sure everything is polished. Because of that, the Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC will take time.
The developers also said they don’t want to make promises too early. They’ll only share updates when they have something solid to show. For now, the only sure thing is that the DLC is real and currently being developed.
What Content Has Been Teased So Far?
Team Cherry hasn’t shared many details yet, but they did confirm a few exciting things that you can expect in the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC.
Steel Assassin Sharpe Is Coming Back
Sharpe, a character who appeared in an early trailer but never showed up in the final game, will finally appear in the DLC. He’ll likely be part of new story content or a new boss fight.
Cut Content Will Be Added Later
Some areas and features that didn’t make it into the main game—like the Village of Lions—will be added in future updates. This shows the team wants the DLC to feel big and worthwhile, not just a tiny update.
Updates Can Be Small or Big
Team Cherry also said that future updates may come in different sizes. Some could be small, like simple tweaks or small features. Others could be very large, like Godmaster from the first game, which added whole new challenge areas and boss battles.
Why Development May Take Time
Team Cherry shared that making new content for Silksong is harder than it was for the first game. Since Silksong is already a big game from the start, adding too much too quickly, new players might feel lost. The devs have always put a lot of focus on quality, so they want the DLC to feel smooth and naturally connected to the main game.
They also said they’re experimenting with ideas and building content little by little, without deciding how big the DLC will be or when it will come out. This gives them more freedom to be creative, but it also means the DLC will take longer to finish.
Conclusion
Team Cherry is taking their time to make it good, so the wait might be long — but it should be worth it with everything they plan to add. There’s no release date yet, but knowing the Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC is real is already exciting. After waiting so long for Silksong, it’s nice to know the world of Pharloom will keep expanding.
