Subtle Steam Page Refresh for Silksong

Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong have fresh reasons to stay optimistic as the game’s Steam page saw minor updates. SteamDB reports that on March 24, Silksong was added to GeForce NOW, ensuring compatibility with NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service upon release.

Other tweaks include updates to hidden assets and legal details, with the copyright now listed as Team Cherry 2025, updated from 2019. While unconfirmed, these changes hint at potential Silksong news or events on the horizon. Fans, eager for updates, have been vocal in comment sections for showcases like PlayStation State of Play and Xbox Developer Direct.

With this Steam update and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, anticipation is high for Silksong news.

Silksong Highlighted in Xbox Indie Showcase

A recent Xbox Indies Post has further fueled optimism about Silksong’s release. On March 18, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards published an Xbox Wire article celebrating indie developers, noting over $5 billion paid to those in the program.

Richards highlighted the success of titles like Balatro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Phasmophobia, while teasing upcoming games, including Silksong. He wrote, “Our future lineup is stellar, with titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak set to shine across Xbox platforms… and, of course, Hollow Knight: Silksong!”

Notably, the other games mentioned have 2025 release dates: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24, Descenders Next on April 9, and FBC: Firebreak within 2025. This has sparked speculation that Silksong could follow a similar timeline, though nothing is confirmed.

Unveiled in February 2019

Team Cherry introduced Silksong in February 2019 as a full-fledged sequel to Hollow Knight. Initially planned as DLC, its scope grew too expansive. A gameplay trailer debuted at the 2022 Xbox-Bethesda showcase, with Microsoft stating all featured titles would launch within 12 months.

In 2023, Team Cherry delayed Silksong beyond its planned first-half release, promising updates as development neared completion.

Earlier this year, Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffin addressed speculation on X, stating on January 18, “The game is real, progressing, and will release.” While sparse, this reassured fans of Silksong’s existence.

With recent updates, fans are hopeful for imminent Silksong news. The game is slated for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, though Team Cherry has yet to confirm a release date. Stay tuned for the latest on Silksong by checking our coverage below!
