Hollow Knight: Silksong – Still Coming Soon? Fans Hold Onto Hope
Announced in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the most anticipated Metroidvania sequels. Despite six years and a vague delay in 2023, a firm release date remains elusive. However, a recent statement from Xbox listing Hollow Knight: Silksong as an “upcoming game” has reignited excitement among eager fans.
# Why is Hollow Knight: Silksong So Highly Anticipated?
Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced by Team Cherry following the massive success of the first game. Since then, the development team has shared limited information. In 2023, the game was indefinitely delayed. While Team Cherry assured fans that development continued and the game *would* be released, patience is wearing thin.
Xbox’s ID@Xbox program listed Hollow Knight: Silksong alongside games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Descenders Next. While other games had release dates, Silksong remained dateless. This has fueled speculation and hopes for a 2025 release.
# Hollow Knight: Silksong Delay Rumors
The extended delay has spawned various theories. Nintendo briefly removing the game’s eShop page sparked rumors of cancellation. This was quickly corrected, with developers confirming the game is still in development.
While the uncertainty frustrates fans, the legacy of Hollow Knight and Silksong’s promised innovations keep expectations alive. The game is expected to feature a larger world, new enemies, and an enriched storyline.
# Hollow Knight: Silksong – Will it Release in 2025?
Hollow Knight: Silksong is back in the spotlight thanks to Xbox’s statement, but a release date remains unconfirmed. Impatient fans hope for a surprise announcement in 2025. Silksong remains a major point of interest for Metroidvania fans and the wider gaming community.
