Team Cherry breaks Hollow Knight Silksong radio silence: ‘Yes it’s real, progressing and will release’
Development of Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight sequel is moving forward, the studio says
Team Cherry has provided a rare status update on Hollow Knight: Silksong.
“Yes the game is real, progressing and will release,” Matthew Griffin, who handles PR and marketing for the title, wrote on X in response to a plea for information about the highly-anticipated sequel.
It might not be much to go on, but it’s nevertheless a significant update given that fans have heard little about the game over the last few years.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced in February 2019 and is due to be released for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It will also be available on Game Pass on day one.
The most significant update about the game in recent years came in May 2023 when Team Cherry confirmed it had been delayed.
“We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing,” Griffin said at the time. “We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.”
According to its developer, Silksong will introduce a brand new kingdom, over 150 new enemies and Silk Soul mode, which is a new difficulty setting that greatly changes the game after the first playthrough.
