Hollow Knight: Silksong Minor Steam Page Update

The excitement around Hollow Knight: Silksong has been further fueled by its mention in an Xbox Wire post about upcoming indie titles. ID@Xbox director Guy Richards highlighted the success of the program and mentioned Silksong alongside other upcoming games such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak. While the release dates for these other games are set for this year, Silksong's inclusion in this lineup has fans hopeful that it might follow suit soon. However, no concrete release date has been confirmed for Silksong yet.

First Revealed in February 2019

Hollow Knight: Silksong was first unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to the original Hollow Knight. Originally intended as a DLC, the project grew too large and distinct to be contained within the existing game. A gameplay trailer was showcased at the Xbox-Bethesda event in 2022, with Microsoft promising a release within the following 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of that year, committing to continued development and updates as the release approached.

Earlier this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, reassured fans via a Twitter (X) post on January 18, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." While this statement doesn't provide a specific timeline, it offers a glimmer of hope for eager fans.

With the recent updates and mentions, the gaming community is abuzz with speculation about when Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally see the light of day. The game is slated for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. While no official release date has been announced by Team Cherry, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates and announcements.
