Xbox Reveals Hollow Knight: Silksong in Epic Indie Line-Up

Mar 19, 2025 2:30 PM

After six years of anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to generate buzz among fans. Despite the developer Team Cherry keeping details under wraps since its announcement in February 2019, recent mentions by Microsoft in their ID@Xbox program have reignited hopes for its eventual release. Although no solid release date has been confirmed, the continued confidence from Xbox suggests that Silksong could potentially arrive in 2025. Gamers are eager for updates to see if this long-awaited sequel will finally make its debut soon.

When is the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong?

As of now, Team Cherry has not provided a specific release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong, but there are indications that it may be released in 2025, as mentioned in recent communications by Microsoft.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the highly-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight, which was released in 2017. Players assume the role of Hornet, a character introduced in the original game, as she embarks on her own journey in a new realm filled with challenges and unique enemies. The game has garnered significant attention due to its beautiful hand-drawn art, engaging gameplay, and the beloved atmosphere of its predecessor.

It’s wild how Silksong has become the gaming equivalent of a mythical creature—everyone’s heard of it, but no one’s actually seen it. Still, the fact that Microsoft’s dropping hints gives me hope that Hornet’s adventure might finally see the light of day before I retire from gaming.

Honestly, the fact that Silksong is still generating this much hype after so many years is a testament to how special Hollow Knight was. At this point, I’m just hoping Team Cherry takes all the time they need to make it as magical as the first game—2025 or not, I’ll be ready.
