Hollow Knight: Silksong Minor Steam Page Update

Exciting news for Hollow Knight: Silksong enthusiasts as the game's Steam metadata has undergone a subtle yet significant update.

Additionally, the game's hidden assets and legal information have been updated, with the copyright now listed as Team Cherry 2025, a shift from the original 2019 listing.

Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Further boosting the spirits of fans, Hollow Knight: Silksong was name-dropped in an Xbox Indies post on Xbox Wire. On March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards shared an article celebrating the success of the ID@Xbox program, which has paid over $5 billion to indie developers. In the article, Richards highlighted successful launches like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, and teased the upcoming lineup, which includes Silksong. He stated, "Looking ahead, our lineup is incredible with upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak to play across the whole Xbox universe… and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too!" Notably, the other games mentioned have release dates set for this year: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak in 2025. This could hint at a similar timeline for Silksong, though no concrete release date has been confirmed.

First Revealed in February 2019

Originally unveiled in February 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was initially planned as a DLC for the original Hollow Knight but grew into a full-scale sequel due to its scope and uniqueness. In 2022, a gameplay trailer was showcased during the Xbox-Bethesda event, with Microsoft promising that all featured games would launch within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay, pushing Silksong's release beyond the first half of that year, but assured continued development and forthcoming updates as the release approached. Earlier this year, on January 18, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, confirmed on Twitter (X) that "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release," providing a much-needed reassurance to the eager fanbase. As recent updates and news keep the community hopeful, Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though an official release date remains unannounced. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated title!
