SteamDB data indicates that just around 15% of Hollow Knight: Silksong participants have unlocked the full completion trophy. This leaves ample opportunity for the majority to wrap up their progress prior to Team Cherry unveiling expansions for the popular platformer. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier initially disclosed that the studio is crafting an expansion pack potentially on par with the scope of the Hollow Knight: Godmaster add-on.
The expansion might introduce Steel Assassin Sharpe, an enigmatic figure hinted at years back yet absent from the final product. During the discussion, Team Cherry's co-creator Ari Gibson described the figure as ready for a comeback, expressing enthusiasm for bringing Sharpe back into focus. Responding to queries about including Sharpe in future expansions, Gibson noted it as an ideal chance to delve deeper into the character's background.
While the prospect of expanded Silksong material generates buzz, Team Cherry remains silent on any launch schedules. The studio's other co-creator, William Pellen, shared with Bloomberg that discussions on the project will ramp up shortly, though specifics on timing are off the table for now. Looking further ahead, the co-creators expressed interest in venturing beyond the Hollow Knight series to develop titles in entirely new settings.
