Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles
Adding to the excitement, *Hollow Knight: Silksong* was highlighted in an Xbox Wire post on March 18 by ID@Xbox director Guy Richards. In his article discussing the success of indie developers within the ID@Xbox program, Richards not only celebrated past successes but also teased an impressive lineup of upcoming games. Among these, *Silksong* was specifically mentioned alongside titles like *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33*, *Descenders Next*, and *FBC: Firebreak*. While the other games have release dates set for this year, with *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* slated for April 24, *Descenders Next* on April 9, and *FBC: Firebreak* expected in 2025, the mention of *Silksong* in this context has fans hoping for a similar timeline.

First Revealed in February 2019
Originally unveiled in February 2019 by Team Cherry, *Hollow Knight: Silksong* was initially conceived as a DLC for the original *Hollow Knight* but evolved into a standalone sequel due to its expansive scope and unique elements. A gameplay trailer debuted in 2022 during the Xbox-Bethesda showcase, with Microsoft promising its availability within the following 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of that year, committing to ongoing development and updates as the release nears. Early this year, on January 18, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, reassured fans via a Twitter (X) post that *Silksong* is indeed real, in progress, and will eventually be released. This statement, though brief, has kept the flame of hope alive among the game's eager followers.
With these recent developments and the anticipation building around *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, fans are on the edge of their seats, hoping for more concrete news soon. The game is expected to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. While Team Cherry has yet to announce an official release date, the community remains vigilant, eagerly awaiting further updates on this highly anticipated sequel.
