Silksong Is Real And Will Release, Reassures PR Manager

Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to be a topic of fervent discussion among fans, with recent updates from Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Manager, Matthew "Leth" Griffin, providing reassurance about the game's development. Dive into the latest details and speculations surrounding this eagerly awaited sequel!

This Is Not A Joke, Silksong Is Real

Confirmed By Team Cherry’s Griffin

Amid swirling rumors sparked by a seemingly innocuous cake-themed X (Twitter) profile change by Hollow Knight co-creator William Pellen, fans were on the edge of their seats. However, Matthew "Leth" Griffin stepped in to quell any doubts. In response to a fan's plea for reassurance, Griffin confirmed on X (Twitter) that Hollow Knight: Silksong is very much real and actively being developed. This statement comes as a relief to the community, especially after YouTuber fireb0rn's investigation into the cake incident turned up no significant developments, labeling it a "nothingburger." Griffin's reaffirmation that "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release" marks the first official update in over a year and a half.

Silksong’s Six-Year-Long History

Since its initial reveal in February 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong has been a long-awaited sequel. Originally planned for release in the first half of 2023, the game's scope expanded significantly, leading Team Cherry to announce a delay in May 2023. They cited the game's increased size and their desire to enhance it further as reasons for the postponement. Silksong promises a new kingdom to explore, nearly 150 new enemies to battle, and an exciting new difficulty level called Silk Soul mode. Despite the almost six-year wait since its announcement, the community's reactions have been mixed. Some fans are grateful for any update and offer words of encouragement, while others express growing impatience with the lack of detailed progress reports.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated to launch on multiple platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Players will join Hornet, the princess-protector of Hallownest, on her perilous journey through an uncharted world, culminating in a challenging pilgrimage to the kingdom's peak. While no specific release window has been announced yet, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates and announcements.
