A fan of the game Hollow Knight, who sadly lost their battle with cancer, has been honored in the upcoming game Silksong. They’ve been included as a challenging boss, a character you can interact with, and through special sidequests.
After years of waiting, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here! It’s the sequel to the incredibly popular Hollow Knight, a 2017 indie game known for its tough but rewarding gameplay, massive world to explore, and beautiful visuals. The original game quickly became a favorite among players and critics alike.
The follow-up to the original game was a huge success, immediately breaking sales records on both Steam and Nintendo Switch. Reviewers loved the improved combat system and the much larger world, and the developers even made some of the first bosses a little easier based on what players said. Despite these changes, it’s still considered one of the most challenging games released this year.

The deeper meaning behind Seth’s boss fight
I was so touched to learn about the story behind the boss, Seth, in Silksong! Apparently, a few years back, a young fan named Seth – online as big_boi878 – bravely shared that he was battling Ewing sarcoma and really wanted to meet the people making Hollow Knight. Team Cherry didn’t just *talk* to him, though – they went above and beyond and actually let him *design* a character that ended up in the sequel! It’s such a heartwarming detail and makes the game even more special to me.
Seth shared that he’d named the character after himself, and hinted at special backstory and gameplay for fans. He also mentioned the development team promised him immediate access to the game so he could try fighting the boss based on him.
He unfortunately died in 2019 before *Silksong* came out, but his work lives on in the game. Players can battle Seth in Eastern Greymoor, a fight accompanied by beautiful music that then leads to a quest taking you all over the game world.
In addition to his role in the game, Seth is honored with a dedicated tribute in the credits. Fans have especially appreciated this touching moment, celebrating how it keeps his creativity and story alive within Silksong, a game he was passionate about.
