Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Further fueling the excitement, Silksong was mentioned in an Xbox Wire post by ID@Xbox director Guy Richards on March 18. The article highlighted the success of the ID@Xbox program, noting that over $5 billion has been paid to indie developers.

Richards discussed the success of previous ID@Xbox launches, including Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia. He also teased the upcoming lineup, which includes Silksong, 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!"

Notably, the other games mentioned in the post have release dates set for this year: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak with a 2025 release window. This pattern suggests that Silksong might be slated for release soon, although no specific date has been confirmed.

First Revealed in February 2019

Team Cherry first unveiled Silksong in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight. Originally planned as a DLC, the project grew too expansive and unique to be contained within an expansion. A gameplay trailer was showcased in the 2022 Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising all featured games would be available within the next 12 months.

However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay, pushing Silksong's release beyond the first half of the year. Despite this, they assured continued development and promised updates as the release approached.

Early this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, confirmed on Twitter (X) on January 18 that the game is indeed real, in development, and will be released. Though sparse, this statement has kept fans' hopes alive.

With these recent developments, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for more Silksong news. The game is slated for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. While Team Cherry has not yet provided an official release date, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for the latest updates by checking out our article below!
