Exciting news for backers of the original Hollow Knight! Team Cherry is reaching out to you regarding Silksong. After years of anticipation, it’s time to check your inboxes for important updates.
Surveys are rolling out to players who supported the original Kickstarter campaign over a decade ago. These surveys ask backers to select their preferred code for the eagerly awaited release, specifically for PC or Switch. Interestingly, the Wii U was initially planned to be the launch console, reflecting how much the gaming landscape has evolved.
Hollow Knight Silksong Backer Surveys were sent out earlier today if you were one of the few original Kickstarters. Code options are PC or Switch (original KS was for PC or Wii U). Apparently the Switch option is for both Switch 1 & 2 versions.

You might be wondering why backers are eligible for a complimentary code. Well, Silksong started as a downloadable content (DLC) for the first game but blossomed into a standalone title, much more extensive than initially envisioned.
It’s fascinating to think about what Team Cherry could have accomplished had the original campaign surpassed its $50,000 fundraising goal. Additional stretch goals like extra playable characters and PS Vita support might have reshaped the project even further. It’s amusing to observe how a Kickstarter that initially aimed for modest funding has transitioned into a major success story.
If you backed the original Kickstarter but haven’t yet received an email with your survey, Team Cherry recommends reaching out to [email protected]. Provide the email you used for the campaign to verify your identity and include your new email address for survey delivery. Just a heads up—wait for 48 hours after the game’s announcement before contacting them.
For those who didn’t back the original Kickstarter, there’s no need to worry; no one, including the press, will have early access to the game. Everyone will be able to dive into Silksong on all available platforms when it officially launches worldwide on September 4.
