Hollow Knight: Silksong was first revealed by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to the original Hollow Knight. Initially intended as a DLC, it grew too large and unique to fit within that framework. A gameplay trailer was showcased in the 2022 Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising availability within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of that year, promising to continue development and provide updates as the release neared. Early this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler Matthew Griffin confirmed on Twitter (X) on January 18 that the game is real, progressing, and will be released, offering fans a glimmer of hope.
