Hollow Knight: Silksong has once again captured the attention of eager fans following a minor update to its Steam metadata. The recent adjustments have sparked renewed hope that Team Cherry’s highly anticipated sequel is inching closer to release. Below, we break down the latest developments and what they could mean for players waiting patiently.
Hollow Knight: Silksong – Latest Updates
Minor Steam Page Update Sparks Excitement
A small but significant change has occurred on the game’s Steam page. As reported by SteamDB, the Hollow Knight: Silksong listing was updated on March 24, with the title now opted-in for GeForce NOW compatibility. This means that once the game launches, it will be playable via NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service.
Additionally, subtle changes were made to the game’s hidden assets and legal information, including an updated copyright notice from "Team Cherry 2019" to "Team Cherry 2025." While no official announcement has been made, these tweaks may hint at upcoming news or events tied to the game.
Longtime fans have been craving updates, often expressing their anticipation in forums and comment sections during major gaming events like PlayStation State of Play and Xbox Developer Direct. With the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2, many are hoping for another glimpse into Team Cherry's world.
Silksong Highlighted in Xbox Indies Post
Another encouraging development came from Microsoft itself, as Silksong was mentioned in a recent ID@Xbox blog post published on Xbox Wire. In the article dated March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards highlighted the success of the indie program, noting that over $5 billion has been paid out to developers since its launch.
Richards showcased several successful titles such as Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, while also teasing upcoming releases. Among them was Hollow Knight: Silksong, referenced alongside games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (April 24), Descenders Next (April 9), and FBC: Firebreak (2025). Although no release date was given for Silksong, its inclusion in this list suggests it may be nearing completion.
Origins and Development Timeline
Originally announced in February 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong began as a potential DLC before evolving into a full standalone sequel. A detailed gameplay trailer debuted during the 2022 Xbox Bethesda Showcase, where Microsoft confirmed that all shown content would arrive within the next year.
However, in 2023, Team Cherry officially delayed the game beyond its initial H1 2023 window, stating that they would continue development and share updates as the release approached. Earlier this year, Marketing and PR lead Matthew Griffin confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that “Yes, the game is real, progressing, and will release.”
Though vague, the message reassured fans who have long feared cancellation. At this time, there is still no official release date, but the recent Steam and Xbox mentions have reignited optimism among the community.
Expected Platforms
Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently planned for release across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. However, until Team Cherry issues an official statement, fans must remain patient and hopeful.
