I can tell that Hollow Knight: Silksong is a big hit among the indie crowd because the traffic here on Rogueliker has been at a crawl since the game launched on September 4th.
I had intended on sitting this launch out and letting everyone else stress about reviews and guides and all that fun stuff. Yet despite my best attempts, there is some Silksong news with a roguelike twist to tell you about today!
You already know what I’m talking about because you clicked on the link: it’s time for another cool indie dev collaboration!
There’s actually not a huge amount to tell you beyond the fact that Massive Monster has confirmed that there’ll be some Silksong-themed Easter eggs in the upcoming DLC for Cult of the Lamb.
Woolhaven is due to arrive in Cult of the Lamb at some point in Early 2026, so there’s still plenty of time for you all to finish up with Silksong before the paid expansion is ready for your worship.
Finally, in other cultish news, there’s a Cult of the Lamb board game in the works, too. Hit the link for more details, and stay tuned here on Rogueliker for all the latest on everyone’s favourite cute little lamb!
