Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to the indie smash hit Hollow Knight, is finally out, and according to Silksong’s credits, the game features the voice of Eric Barone, the creator of another indie smash hit, Stardew Valley. (You may also know Barone by the name ConcernedApe, which he goes by online.)
You can see Barone’s name listed under the “Additional Character Voices” section of Silksong’s credits, which are accessible from the Extras section of the game’s title screen. I’ve also included a screenshot below:
Cole Medeiros, head of operations and biz dev at ConcernedApe LLC, confirmed to noti.group that this is indeed the Eric Barone of Stardew Valley fame. However, Medeiros and Barone won’t reveal who Barone voices in Silksong; Barone would “rather not say which character(s) so as not to spoil any surprises for anyone,” Medeiros says.
Stardew Valley and Silksong share another connection, too. Matthew Griffin, who handles marketing and PR for Silksong, once held a similar role for Stardew Valley, according to Silksong developer Team Cherry’s website.
