Silksong devs have already given up hope for The Game Awards 2025’s biggest prize

Team Cherry may not attend 2025 The Game Awards in L.A.

PC Gamer

Silksong devs felt they didn't 'have a lot of control' over its release date and sympathize with all the games that were delayed to avoid it: 'To some extent that probably is unfortunate'

Team Cherry was too busy finishing the game to know when exactly it would be finished.

GamesRadar

Silksong devs "have other games that we plan to make" that aren't just Hollow Knight, but their own deaths weigh on them: "It’s not that far off if you spend 7 years per project"

Time ticks on

GamesRadar

Silksong devs "maybe" aren't going to The Game Awards and think they're "safe" from a GOTY win because of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which is "exceptional and broadly palatable"

For those who skong after

GamesRadar

Team Cherry demonstrates the evolution between Hollow Knight and Silksong: "If the Last Judge had existed in the previous game, it would have probably been more of a big, round blob"

Hornet's original move set was the basis for a normal enemy

Silksong devs say "it's very difficult to preserve mystery these days," and Zelda 2-era inspirations pushed them toward a world you can explore "divorced from the internet"

Team Cherry devs grew up playing games in a pre-internet era

GamesRadar

Hollow Knight devs highlight a big difference between their sequel and most Metroidvanias: "The player's choice about where to go in Silksong is not dictated by what power-ups you currently have"

"It's a specific kind of lock-and-key type of progression"
