While no official statements have been made, these tweaks hint at potential upcoming news or events related to Silksong. Fans have been eagerly awaiting any updates, often expressing their anticipation in comment sections of events like the PlayStation State of Play and Xbox Developer Direct.

With the recent Steam update and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, the community is buzzing with anticipation for more Silksong news.

Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Adding to the optimism, Silksong was highlighted in an Xbox Wire post by ID@Xbox director Guy Richards on March 18. The article celebrated the success of the ID@Xbox program, which has paid over $5 billion to indie developers.

Richards discussed the achievements of previous ID@Xbox releases such as Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia. He also teased the upcoming lineup, mentioning Silksong alongside Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak. Richards 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!"

Interestingly, the other mentioned games have release dates within this year: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak in 2025. This could suggest a similar timeline for Silksong, though nothing has been officially confirmed.

First Revealed in February 2019

Team Cherry first unveiled Silksong in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight. Initially planned as a DLC, the project grew too large and distinctive to remain an add-on. In 2022, a gameplay trailer was showcased at the Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising all featured games would launch within the following 12 months.

However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the initial first half of 2023 release window, committing to continue development and provide updates as the release nears.

Early this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler Matthew Griffin reassured fans on Twitter (X) on January 18, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." While this doesn't offer much detail, it's a crumb of hope for eager fans.

With these recent developments, anticipation is high for Silksong-related announcements. The game is slated 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.
