Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Further fueling speculation, Silksong was highlighted in an Xbox Wire post. On March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards published an article celebrating the success of the ID@Xbox program, which has paid over $5 billion to indie developers.

In this lineup, he mentioned Silksong alongside Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak, stating, "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!" The other games listed have release dates within this year, suggesting that Silksong might also be close to release, though no specific date was confirmed.

First Revealed in February 2019

Silksong was first announced 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 elements. In 2022, a gameplay trailer debuted at the Xbox-Bethesda showcase, with Microsoft promising all showcased titles would launch within the following 12 months.

However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the initial release window of the first half of that year, but assured continued development and promised updates as the release approached.

Earlier this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler Matthew Griffin reaffirmed the game's existence and ongoing progress on January 18 via a Twitter (X) post, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." While this statement is brief, it offers fans a small beacon of hope.

Given the recent updates and news, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for a Silksong announcement. The game is slated for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
