Summary
A new store listing and a Tweet from an Xbox employee have fans hopeful that aHollow Knight: Silksongupdate could be imminent. A new store listing and a tweet from an Xbox employee might not seem like a lot to go on, but an update concerningHollow Knight: Silksongis long overdue. As it was heavily implied thatSilksongwas slated to release in the first half of 2023, fans are looking for an update sometime soon. However, developer Team Cherry has remained mostly silent since the announcement ofSilksong’sdelay.
Hollow Knight: Silksong’s developmentkicked off more than five years ago with the game’s announcement. While initially planned as a DLC expansion forHollow Knight, Team Cherry decided to create a full-blown sequel. AsHollow Knightis widely regarded as one of the best Metroidvanias of all time,Silksonghas remained one of the most anticipated games since its initial announcement.
Xbox Portfolio Sr. Content Planning Manager Nick Zuclich shared a link to the newHollow Knight: SilksongXbox Store page. This post was shared by the popular deals page Wario64, claiming that the store page does appear to have been launched today. They add that the listings forSilksongon the eShop, PSN, Steam, and GOG stores already exist.
What Hollow Knight: Silksong Update Means
While these posts were both shared on April 1, it doesn’t appear to be a prank. That said, it is currently unclear what this new Xbox Store page means forHollow Knight: Silksong. What is interesting is that Zuclich shared the page. Sure, this could very well just be a playful social media post designed to get people talking, but seeing asHollow Knight: Silksongis a day one Xbox Game Pass title, it is certainly possible the Xbox employee could be hinting at something.
Of course, this is all speculation at this point. Fans are still unsurewhat to expect fromHollow Knight: Silksongin 2024. When it was announced thatSilksongwould initially be delayed, Team Cherry gave no update for a release window. So, it’s possible the year could come and go without any updates from the development team at all.
With every Nintendo Indie Direct and Xbox event, rumors surrounding an announcement or even aHollow Knight: Silksongshadow dropmake the rounds. However, these have yet to come to fruition. That said, Team Cherry will ultimately break the silence at some point. When that will be is still anyone’s guess, but perhaps this latest update could mean news is coming after all.
