Hollow Knight: Silksong, the lengthy, lengthy awaited sequel to the beloved 2017 indie hit Hollow Knight, won’t make it out within the first half of 2023 (hardly stunning at this level, since we’re already nicely into May). Matthew Griffin from developer Team Cherry made the announcement on Twitter, saying merely that “development is still continuing,” and declining to provide an anticipated release window for the sport.
In truth, Silksong has by no means had an official release date. But it made an look in trailer type throughout Microsoft’s June 2022 showcase, which presupposed to solely function video games due out within the following 12 months. (Silksong is hardly the one casualty from that showcase, which additionally featured Starfield, Forza Motorsport, and a number of other different video games which have been delayed into late 2023 and past.)
“We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing,” Griffin wrote. “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. Expect more details from us once we get closer to release.”
Hey gang, only a fast replace about Silksong.
We had deliberate to release within the 1st half of 2023, however improvement continues to be persevering with. We’re excited by how the sport is shaping up, and it is gotten fairly massive, so we need to take the time to make the sport pretty much as good as we will.
Expect…

Griffin’s message successfully guidelines out any look by Silksong within the Xbox and Summer Game Fest showcases filling the opening left by this 12 months’s canceled E3. Team Cherry’s refusal to decide to a release date for Silksong might be only a smart precaution, though the wording of the tweet doesn’t counsel the sport might be out quickly. A late 2023 release or slip into 2024 appear probably.
Silksong was first introduced in 2019, however Team Cherry’s subsequent years-long silence about its improvement, except for that 2022 trailer, has turned determined followers’ futile hopes for information from any and each platform-holder showcase right into a sort of meme. Originally conceived as an enlargement for the unique Hollow Knight that includes that recreation’s antagonist/ally Hornet as the principle character, Silksong has grown right into a full-fledged sequel — and, it seems, fairly an formidable one.
Whenever it does seem, Hollow Knight: Silksong might be launched on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. It might be out there on Game Pass from day one.
