What do you think Silksong's price at release will be?

[big poo's brother]

Asking so I know how much money I need to save for pre order.

I honestly have no idea. no one does. The game will probably be $20. They heard countless times that the original game is too underpriced and I wouldn't be surprised if they increase the price. Also, I don't think they will put it above $20 because that would be stupid imo.

"It would be stupid imo", nah, on the contrary I wish they could increase their price, the game's THAT good

IMO people saying things like "it's underpriced" mean rather, that (for them) the game has more value than the price they paid for it. So instead of complaining (or even saying things like that), they should rather respect Team Cherry's decision to put the game at this price (they had their reasons after all), and buy as many copies of the game for the total value they think the game is really worth, and gift the copies to their family and friends (even to total strangers!), so that more people can enjoy the game and share it with others as well, making the game overall more popular in the process.

I personally think that making people more aware of the game and making it more popular is better for the creators of the game in the long term than just seeing the money aspect in it.

But this is just my opinion.

I'd expect it to be around the €20 mark, but honestly, I'd still buy it if it was twice that.

I bought expensive AAA games before that I stopped playing and regretted spending money on after ~10 hours; I'd rather that money goes to devs that make stuff I actually enjoy for >100 hours.

Not stated yet. However expected to be between $20-30.

agreed

I'm betting on a price matching the original Hollow Knight.

Team Cherry talked in the past about why they chose the $15 price tag, citing that they thought it was a good price for the product, and that they felt that was particularly a lot of money when you considered how it converts into other currencies.

Given that they want Silksong to match the scope and quality of HK, it makes sense in my mind that they would give it the same treatment.

Price depends on the country.

I just checked, and I paid AR$108 on 27/06/2019 for this game. Back then, those were the shameful amount of US$ 2,45. I allways felt I've robbed TC, I bought the OST just to add some more money, but still I owe them a lot. In my 3º world country Steams sells the games really cheap, way too cheap.

And I bought a copy for my niece, on her Nintendo Switch account. I thought that way I could redeem myself somehow because Nintendo Switch store maintains similar prices in here so that would be my chance... but no, prices are similar, except for HN. I bought it early this may and paid around AR$180 (another US$2,55 that time). It was stupidly cheap, no other game was that cheap. For example, Ori was around AR$1300 (almost US$20) in that same store. But for some reason this game was almost for free.

So I'm waiting for Silksong, I'll buy a copy for me and another one for my niece. If I buy them on release maybe I'll pay their true price.

There's an interesting discussion about this on the Silksong Steam forums:

$15-30 probably. I read it would likely be the same price as HK, but i would imagine if they talked to anyone with business savvy they would raise the price since the demand is there and we all know good HK was.

Yup, contrary I wish they could read this and increase it

Might upset people who always buy cheap games, knowing most people buy indie games because they're cheap, but if they've experienced HK, they know they're in for an another treat

[JIIINGJING]

hopefully around 50-70 dollars

I'm guessing around $20-$30 but I would be willing pay the new Nintendo $80 if it was necessary.
