Team Cherry hints at major Hollow Knight: Silksong update — Steel Assassin Sharpe may return
Team Cherry has confirmed it’s developing additional content for Hollow Knight: Silksong, and said the update could be similar in scale to the studio’s earlier Godmaster DLC. SteamDB data shows only about 15% of players have earned the 100% completion achievement — suggesting many fans will welcome more content.
Co‑founder Ari Gibson told Bloomberg that the teased character Steel Assassin Sharpe is “waiting in the wings” and the team is “excited to reintroduce Sharpe.” Team Cherry declined to give a release date; co‑founder William Pellen said the studio will “start talking about it more soon” but isn’t ready to commit to a timeframe.
What we know so far
- Team Cherry is working on additional Silksong content, potentially matching the depth of the Godmaster expansion.
- Steel Assassin Sharpe, a long‑teased character, may appear in the new content.
- No release date or detailed roadmap has been announced yet.
- Only ~15% of players have reached 100% completion on SteamDB, indicating significant room for extra challenges and content.
Why this matters
If the new content matches Godmaster’s scope, players can expect new bosses, modes and lore that extend Silksong’s lifespan. The low completion rate suggests many players would appreciate additional areas and challenges that add replay value and fresh goals.
What to watch for
- Official announcements from Team Cherry for details, trailers and a release window.
- Whether Steel Assassin Sharpe’s return expands Silksong’s story or introduces new gameplay systems.
- Possible scale — Godmaster‑level content tends to add substantial boss fights and modes, not just minor updates.
