Hollow Knight: Silksong Recent Developments

Minor Steam Page Update for Silksong

Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong have fresh reasons to hope as the game’s Steam metadata received a small update. SteamDB reports that on March 24, Silksong was added to GeForce NOW, ensuring compatibility with NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service upon release.

Additional tweaks to hidden assets and legal details include a copyright update to Team Cherry 2025, replacing the original 2019 listing. While unconfirmed, these changes hint at potential Silksong news or events on the horizon. Fans, eager for updates, have frequently voiced their excitement in comment sections during events like PlayStation State of Play and Xbox Developer Direct.

With this Steam update and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, anticipation for Silksong news is higher than ever.

Silksong Highlighted in Xbox Indies Feature

A recent Xbox Indies Post has further fueled optimism about Silksong’s release. On March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards published an article on Xbox Wire, celebrating the program’s success with over $5 billion paid to indie developers.

Richards highlighted past ID@Xbox titles like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, then turned to upcoming games, including Silksong. He noted, “Our upcoming lineup is remarkable, with titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak set to launch across the Xbox ecosystem… and, of course, Hollow Knight: Silksong!”

Notably, the other mentioned games have 2025 release dates: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak within 2025. This proximity suggests Silksong could follow a similar timeline, though no official confirmation exists.

Announced in February 2019

Team Cherry unveiled Silksong in February 2019 as a full-fledged sequel to Hollow Knight. Originally conceived as DLC, the project grew too expansive and distinct. A 2022 Xbox-Bethesda showcase featured a gameplay trailer, with Microsoft stating all showcased titles would launch within 12 months.

In 2023, Team Cherry delayed Silksong beyond its planned first-half release, promising updates as development neared completion. Earlier this year, on January 18, Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffin addressed doubts on Twitter (X), stating, “Yes, the game is real, progressing, and will release.” While sparse, this reassured fans of Silksong’s existence.

Recent updates have heightened expectations for Silksong news. The game is slated for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though Team Cherry has not announced a release date. Stay tuned for the latest updates on the game!
