First Revealed in February 2019

Hollow Knight: Silksong was first unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to the original Hollow Knight. Initially intended as a DLC, the project grew too expansive and unique to fit within the confines of an expansion. In 2022, a gameplay trailer was showcased at the Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising all featured content would be released within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of the year, committing to continued development and updates as the release approached. Earlier this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, reaffirmed the game's existence and progress on Twitter (X), stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." Though details remain scarce, these updates offer a glimmer of hope for fans eagerly awaiting Silksong.

With recent developments and the game's mention in various platforms, the anticipation for Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to grow. The game is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though no official release date has been announced by Team Cherry.
