Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has voiced a character or two in Hollow Knight Silksong.

Barone's name was spotted in Silksong's credits, which you can access from the Extras part of the main menu. And when The Verge asked Stardew Valley studio ConcernedApe if this was the same Eric Barone who worked there, the company's head of biz dev, Cole Medeiros, confirmed it.

But! Neither Mereidos nor Barone will confirm who Barone voices in Silksong. Medeiros said Barone would rather not say so as not to spoil anything. Barone could potentially be any of the weird and wonderful characters you bump into along the way.
