Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Further fueling the optimism about Silksong's imminent arrival is its mention in an Xbox Indies Post. On March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards shared an article on Xbox Wire detailing the success of indie developers within the Xbox ecosystem, having paid out over $5 billion. Richards highlighted past successes like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, and then teased the upcoming lineup, which notably included Hollow Knight: Silksong. He stated, "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 of the other mentioned games are slated for this year, with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 set for April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak having a 2025 release window. This has led some to speculate that Silksong might be released soon, 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. Originally conceived as a DLC, it evolved into a standalone game due to its expansive scope and unique features. A gameplay trailer was showcased during the Xbox-Bethesda event in 2022, with Microsoft promising all featured titles would be available within the next 12 months.

However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the initial first-half 2023 release window, committing to ongoing development and periodic updates as the game approaches its launch. Early this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, reaffirmed the game's existence and progress on Twitter (X), stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." While this provides little concrete information, it offers fans a glimmer of hope.

With recent developments and updates, the anticipation for Silksong is palpable. The game is planned for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though no official release date has been announced by Team Cherry.
