The title's protracted development, along with a lack of any updates regarding its progress, has led to the negative perception from some fans that the title will remain stuck in development hell. While 1600 days doesn't put Hollow Knight: Silksong anywhere close to some of the longest development cycles in the gaming industry, it definitely raises the question of when fans can expect the game to see the light of day. Many solo developers report that it can take anywhere from just a few months to 3 years to develop a title, but with the time between its announcement and continued development now being over 4 years, Silksong is set to claim the crown for one of the longest development cycles for an indie game. Team Cherry has been candid regarding the fact that, as development continued, so too did the size and scale of Silksong grow to the point where it went from being a large DLC expansion to a full-blown Hollow Knight sequel. ![]() Interestingly, due to the nature of Kickstarter, the developer posted regular updates regarding the game's progress during the development cycle - something it has not been held to during Silksong's development as an independently financed release.Įven though Silksong was first revealed in 2019, initial conceptualization and development began the year prior. The campaign successfully reached funding in just under a month, and the development and release of the first game would end up taking just under three years. After its initial conception in 2013, Team Cherry launched an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of the original Hollow Knight in 2014. ![]()
