"Silksong Confirmed for Release, PR Manager Affirms"

Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to be a hot topic among fans, and the latest news from Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Manager, Matthew Griffin, brings some much-needed reassurance. Griffin confirmed that the game is not only real but also actively in development, putting to rest any doubts sparked by recent social media activity.

This Is Not A Joke, Silksong Is Real

Confirmed By Team Cherry’s Griffin

The excitement around Hollow Knight: Silksong was reignited when co-creator William Pellen changed his X (Twitter) profile picture to a cake, leading fans to speculate wildly about potential announcements or an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) tied to the game. The speculation grew so intense that YouTuber fireb0rn reached out to Griffin for clarification. It turned out to be a false alarm, as Griffin clarified that the cake was merely a harmless profile change, humorously dubbed a "nothingburger" by fireb0rn. Despite the disappointment, Griffin quickly reassured fans, stating, "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." This marks the first update on Silksong in over a year and a half, bringing a sigh of relief to the community.

Silksong’s Six-Year-Long History

First announced in February 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was initially set to launch in the first half of 2023. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay, citing the game's expanded scope and their desire to enhance the overall experience. Silksong promises a new kingdom to explore, nearly 150 new enemies, and a challenging new difficulty mode called Silk Soul. With almost six years of anticipation, fans' reactions to the latest update have been mixed. While some appreciate the reassurance and encourage Team Cherry to take their time, others are growing increasingly impatient with the wait for more concrete details.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to launch on multiple platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Players will follow Hornet, the protector of Hallownest, on her perilous journey through an unfamiliar world, aiming to reach the kingdom's peak. Although no specific release window has been announced, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates and announcements.
