Hollow Knight Silksong Release Confirmed for 2024

06/09/2025 Action-Adventure

Fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight have been eagerly awaiting its sequel, Silksong, for what feels like an eternity. The wait may finally be over, or at least, significantly shorter. Recent announcements have created a buzz, clarifying—and slightly confusing—the game's release window.

Clearing Up the Confusion

Following an appearance at a recent gaming showcase, some mistakenly assumed Silksong would launch alongside a new handheld console. However, Team Cherry, the game's developer, quickly clarified on their Discord that the release is not tied to any specific console launch. They confirmed a release before the holiday season of this year.

This news follows a flurry of speculation. Updates to the game's Steam page, appearances at gaming events, and even a creative (and ultimately unfounded) cake-based theory fueled the excitement and, understandably, some confusion. The recent announcement offers a much-needed dose of clarity for players starved for information.

While the precise release date remains unannounced, the confirmation of a 2024 release has sent ripples of excitement across online gaming communities. However, a healthy dose of skepticism (and perhaps a touch of humor) lingers among the most seasoned fans.
