Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Hollow Knight: Silksong was first revealed in February 2019 by Team Cherry as a full-scale sequel to the original Hollow Knight. Initially planned as a DLC, the project grew too large and unique, leading to its development as a standalone game. A gameplay trailer was showcased in the 2022 Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft stating that all featured games would be released within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of the year, promising to provide updates as the release approached.

Earlier this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, confirmed on Twitter (X) that the game is real, in development, and will eventually be released. This reassurance, though brief, has kept the fanbase hopeful. With recent updates and mentions, the community is eagerly awaiting further news on Hollow Knight: Silksong, which is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. While an official release date remains unannounced, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more information.
