Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

The optimism surrounding Silksong's release has been further fueled by its mention in an Xbox Wire post. On March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards highlighted the success of the ID@Xbox program, noting over $5 billion paid to indie developers.

Richards discussed successful past launches like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, and then turned his attention to upcoming titles. He listed Silksong alongside Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak, saying, "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 other games mentioned have release dates within this year: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak slated for 2025. This proximity suggests that Silksong might also be approaching its release, though nothing has been officially confirmed.

First Revealed in February 2019

Silksong was first unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight. Initially planned as a DLC, it grew too large and distinct to be contained within the original game. A gameplay trailer was showcased in the 2022 Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising that all revealed content would be available within the following 12 months.

However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced that Silksong's release was delayed beyond the first half of the year, but reassured fans that development would continue with updates as the release neared.

Early this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, confirmed Silksong's ongoing development on Twitter (X) on January 18, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." While this statement provides minimal detail, it offers fans a glimmer of hope.

Given the recent developments and updates, anticipation for Silksong-related news is high. The game is planned for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though no specific release date has been officially announced by Team Cherry.
