Silksong Is Real And Will Release, Reassures PR Manager

Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Manager, Matthew Griffin, confirms that Hollow Knight: Silksong is still under active development and will eventually be released. This follows recent speculation fueled by a cake-related profile picture change by a co-creator, which proved to be unrelated to any Silksong news.

Official Confirmation

Griffin's statement on X (formerly Twitter) directly addressed fan concerns, definitively stating that the game is real, progressing, and slated for release. This marks the first substantial update on the game's status in over a year and a half. The initial speculation, while ultimately unfounded, highlighted the intense anticipation surrounding the game.

A Long-Awaited Sequel

Announced in February 2019 with an initial release window of early 2023, Silksong was delayed in May 2023 due to its expanded scope and Team Cherry's commitment to quality. The game promises a new kingdom, nearly 150 new enemies, and a challenging "Silk Soul" difficulty mode. While the delay has understandably caused some impatience among fans, the recent confirmation offers renewed hope.

Fan Reaction and Future Outlook

The news has been met with a mixed reaction. While some fans express relief and offer words of encouragement to the developers, others remain frustrated by the lack of a concrete release date. Despite the varied responses, the confirmation itself is a significant development for eager fans.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Players will follow Hornet, the princess-protector of Hallownest, on a perilous journey to the kingdom's peak. While a release date remains unannounced, further updates are anticipated.
