Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Stardew Valley Mystery Explained

by

In a new chapter for the captivating Metroidvania universe created by Team Cherry, Hollow Knight: Silksong is launched. This game offers players an engaging and tough adventure, keeping them guessing and on their toes. The build-up to the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong has been noteworthy, and its initial weekend saw many exciting discoveries within the game’s hidden realms.

The game, titled Silksong, mainly focuses on unraveling its story by delving into the enigmatic Kingdom of Pharloom. While many players were engrossed in deciphering the game’s maps, an unexpected revelation was hidden elsewhere – in the credits. It wasn’t long before eagle-eyed gamers spotted a familiar name credited for providing additional voices to characters: Eric Barone, renowned as the creator of another popular indie game, Stardew Valley.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Features an Unexpected Stardew Valley Crossover

Two of Gaming’s Biggest Indie Titles Bring Forth a Surprising Team-Up

  • Stardew Valley was released in 2016.
  • Hollow Knight launched in 2017.

The two games, released a year apart and subsequently, have become some of the most impactful and triumphant independent games ever in the gaming industry. Despite their distinct differences, both Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight demonstrated that blockbuster hits can be developed by tiny teams, or in Eric Barone’s unique case, just one person. Given their parallel routes to success, it’s no surprise that Barone contributed his voice to Silksong.

As of last year, Stardew Valley has sold over 41 million copies.

Who Does Eric Barone Voice in Silksong?

Fans haven’t definitively determined who voices the character(s) in Barone’s game yet. It’s unclear if it’s just one character, or possibly five or six. Although ConcernedApe LLC, Barone’s company, has confirmed that the Eric Barone credited in the game is indeed him, neither he nor Team Cherry have revealed which characters from the upcoming Silksong game he voiced.

It’s uncertain who initially proposed that Barone would contribute in some capacity to the game Silksong. Since both Team Cherry and Barone prefer keeping secrets, it’s likely we won’t fully understand the backstory of his cameo. Silksong, which has already shattered expectations with its record-breaking launch, gains an extra layer of excitement by featuring Barone as a surprise addition to this celebration of independent game development. At present, players are unlikely to know who voices Barone in Silksong, but it’s plausible that someone might uncover the truth at some point in the future.

In the early stages of its debut, the game called “Silksong” brought down the online marketplaces of Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Stardew Valley and Hollow Knight, though distinctly unique, demonstrate the potential for hugely popular games to be developed by modest-sized development teams.

Barone’s Silksong Cameo Isn’t the Only Fresh Stardew Valley News

  • Barone recently announced another Stardew Valley update is in the works.

2020 saw a significant milestone for Stardew Valley, as the 1.6 update introduced a wealth of new content, and it appears that developer Barone isn’t finished yet with the game. The announcement of Stardew Valley 1.7 and Barone’s appearance in Silksong have made this past week particularly thrilling for fans of the popular farm simulation game.

In a captivating turn of events, Barone’s brief appearance in “Silksong” hints at an intriguing expansion of his role within the “Hollow Knight” universe. Given this development, it’s quite possible that Update 1.7 could incorporate some hidden references to either “Hollow Knight” or “Silksong.” However, such a connection might be less probable, but not entirely ruled out. Yet, it remains tantalizingly possible that 1.7 may still surprise us with subtle nods to the Knight or Hornet characters. In essence, we eagerly await the unveiling of potential surprises in Update 1.7.
