"Silksong Steam Update Sparks Fan Speculation"

Hollow Knight: Silksong has once again captured the attention of eager fans following a recent update to its Steam metadata. While minimal in scope, these changes have sparked renewed speculation about the game's development status and potential release timeline. Read on for a detailed breakdown of the latest updates, including the Steam metadata changes and Silksong’s mention in an official Xbox Wire post.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Latest Updates

Hollow Knight: Silksong Minor Steam Page Update

A small but meaningful change has been made to Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Steam page as reported by SteamDB. The update occurred on March 24 and includes the game being opted-in for NVIDIA GeForce NOW compatibility. This means that once the game launches, it will be playable via NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service—an encouraging sign that Team Cherry is preparing for release logistics.

Additionally, subtle edits were made to the game’s hidden assets and legal details. One notable change was the copyright year, now listed under "Team Cherry 2025" instead of the original "2019" date. Although no official statement has been released, such tweaks often hint at behind-the-scenes readiness or an upcoming announcement related to the title.

Given the long-awaited nature of Silksong, even minor updates generate significant buzz among fans who remain hopeful for news. With the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2, many anticipate another opportunity for Team Cherry to reveal new information.

Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post Alongside Upcoming Titles

Another development fueling optimism came from an ID@Xbox blog post published on March 18 by Guy Richards, the program’s director. In the article featured on Xbox Wire, Richards highlighted the success of the ID@Xbox initiative, noting that over $5 billion has been paid out to indie developers since its inception.

He also outlined several anticipated titles set to launch across the Xbox ecosystem, and notably, Hollow Knight: Silksong was included in this list. Richards wrote, “Looking ahead, our lineup is incredible with upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak to play across the whole Xbox universe… and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too!”

While no specific release window was given for Silksong, other games mentioned—like Clair Obscur (April 24) and Descenders Next (April 9)—are slated for 2024 releases, with FBC: Firebreak aiming for 2025. This context leads some fans to speculate that Silksong could follow a similar timeframe, although nothing has been officially confirmed.

First Revealed in February 2019

Team Cherry first unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong back in February 2019 as a full standalone sequel to the original *Hollow Knight*. Initially conceived as DLC, the project expanded significantly in both scale and ambition, justifying its evolution into a separate title.

In 2022, a gameplay trailer debuted during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, and Microsoft stated that all content shown would be available within the next 12 months. However, in 2023, Team Cherry announced that the game had been delayed beyond its initial planned release window of H1 2023. Despite this setback, the team assured players that development was ongoing and promised regular updates as they approach completion.

Earlier this year, Team Cherry Marketing and PR lead Matthew Griffin offered a brief but reassuring response on social media when asked about the game’s progress. He tweeted, “Yes the game is real, progressing and will release.” While sparse in detail, this message provided comfort to anxious fans wondering whether the game was still active in development.

With the latest Steam metadata changes, the inclusion in the ID@Xbox lineup, and Griffin’s confirmation, anticipation surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to build. Fans are cautiously optimistic that more concrete news will surface soon.

The game is currently expected to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. However, as of now, Team Cherry has not issued an official release date. For the most up-to-date information on Silksong, stay tuned to our coverage right here at [ttpp].
