Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles
*Hollow Knight: Silksong* was first unveiled by Team Cherry in February 2019 as a full-scale sequel to the original *Hollow Knight*. Initially planned as a DLC, the project grew too large and unique to fit that format. A gameplay trailer debuted in the 2022 Xbox-Bethesda showcase, with Microsoft confirming that all showcased games would be available within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of that year, committing to ongoing development and promising updates as the release neared. Early this year, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Handler, Matthew Griffin, reaffirmed the game's existence and ongoing development, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release," on a Twitter (X) post on January 18. Though details remain scarce, these assurances provide a glimmer of hope for the eager fanbase.
