"While Team Cherry could have charged more for Silksong, it's essentially pricing it the same as the original when you factor in inflation over the past eight years. The team revealed seven years ago that it kept the Hollow Knight pricing low to ensure as many people played it as possible. "$15 US is actually quite a bit of money for many people, especially in other countries than the US,""
"The considerate choice on the pricing of Hollow Knight allowed millions of people to play the game, with the original selling more than 15 million copies. That's made Hollow Knight one of the most successful indie video games ever, so a $19.99 price tag for Silksong could produce similar sales results - especially as it's currently the most wishlisted game on Steam."
Hollow Knight: Silksong releases on September 4 at 7AM PT / 10AM ET / 3PM UK with a $19.99 price. The game has been in development for seven years. The $19.99 tag is a $5 increase from Hollow Knight's original $14.99 but is essentially equivalent when adjusted for inflation. Team Cherry kept the original price low to maximize accessibility worldwide. The original sold more than 15 million copies, making it one of the most successful indie titles, and Silksong is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam.
