Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles
Adding to the excitement, Silksong was mentioned in an Xbox Wire post by ID@Xbox director Guy Richards on March 18. The article highlighted the success of indie developers in the Xbox ecosystem, mentioning past hits like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia. Richards also teased the upcoming lineup, which included Silksong alongside Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak. Notably, the release dates for these other games are set within the current year, with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 slated for April 24, Descenders Next for April 9, and FBC: Firebreak targeted for 2025. This proximity might suggest a similar timeframe for Silksong, though no official confirmation has been made.
First Revealed in February 2019
Hollow Knight: Silksong was first unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight. Initially planned as a DLC, the project grew too large and unique to remain an add-on. In 2022, a gameplay trailer was showcased during the Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising that all shown content would be available within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of the year but assured continued development and future updates.
Earlier this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, confirmed on Twitter (X) on January 18 that Silksong is "real, progressing, and will release." While this statement offers little in terms of specifics, it's enough to keep the fanbase hopeful.
With these recent developments, fans are eagerly anticipating a Silksong-related announcement. The game is slated for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Although no official release date has been announced by Team Cherry, the community remains vigilant for any updates. Stay tuned to our articles for the latest information on Hollow Knight: Silksong!
