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.

Cole Medeiros, head of operations and biz dev at ConcernedApe LLC, confirmed to The Verge 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.
