First Revealed in February 2019

Silksong was first unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight. Initially planned as a DLC, it evolved into a standalone game due to its expansive scope and unique features. A gameplay trailer was showcased at the Xbox-Bethesda event in 2022, with Microsoft promising that all featured games 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 ongoing development and future updates. Earlier this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, confirmed on Twitter (X) on January 18 that "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release," offering fans a glimmer of hope.

With these recent developments, the gaming community is eagerly awaiting further news on Silksong. The game is slated for release 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.
