With the recent Steam update and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, fans are once again holding their breath for any news on Silksong.
Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles
Further fueling optimism, Silksong was mentioned in an Xbox Wire post on March 18 by ID@Xbox director Guy Richards. The post highlighted the success of the ID@Xbox program, which has paid over $5 billion to indie developers. Richards showcased the achievements of games like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, and also teased the upcoming lineup, which includes Silksong. He noted, "Looking ahead, our lineup is incredible with upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak to play across the whole Xbox universe… and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too!"
Notably, the release dates for the other mentioned games are slated for this year—Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak in 2025. This proximity might suggest a similar timeline for Silksong, although no concrete release date has been confirmed yet.
First Revealed in February 2019
Originally unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019, Silksong was initially conceived as a DLC for Hollow Knight but evolved into a full-fledged sequel due to its expansive scope and unique elements. A gameplay trailer was showcased during the Xbox-Bethesda event in 2022, with Microsoft promising all featured content would launch within the following year.
However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of that year, assuring continued development and future updates as the release approaches. Earlier this year, Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, reaffirmed the game's existence and ongoing development in a Twitter (X) post on January 18, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." While this offers minimal detail, it's a beacon of hope for fans eagerly awaiting Silksong.
Given the recent developments, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for any upcoming Silksong announcements. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though an official release date remains undisclosed.
