Silksong Release Confirmed by PR Manager

Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Manager Matthew Griffin confirms that Hollow Knight: Silksong development continues. Discover the latest insights and community reactions.

Silksong Exists - Confirmed by Official Sources

Team Cherry Executive Provides Assurance

After recent speculation surrounding a mysterious cake image, Hollow Knight fans received concrete confirmation from Team Cherry's Marketing Head Matthew "Leth" Griffin that Silksong remains in active development. Griffin responded directly to fan queries on X (Twitter), alleviating concerns about the project's status.

The speculation began when Hollow Knight co-creator William Pellen updated his X profile picture to feature a cake image, sparking wild theories among dedicated fans about potential Silksong announcements or Nintendo Switch 2 connections. However, YouTuber fireb0rn's investigation revealed this was simply a personal update with no hidden meaning. Griffin confirmed the profile change carried no significance beyond personal preference.

Griffin did provide substantial news amidst the cake controversy, stating clearly: "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release." This marks Team Cherry's first development update in approximately eighteen months.

Silksong's Development Journey

Originally announced in February 2019 targeting a mid-2023 release, Team Cherry postponed Silksong last May citing expanded scope and additional polishing requirements. The sequel promises an entirely new kingdom setting, approximately 150 enemy types, and introduces Silk Soul mode as an advanced difficulty option. While the recent update remains brief, it ends prolonged silence regarding the project's status.

Community reactions vary widely - while some fans express gratitude for the confirmation, others voice frustration after nearly six years awaiting concrete news. Many encourage the development team to maintain creative freedom rather than succumb to external pressures.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch across PC and all major console platforms, following Hornet's perilous quest beyond Hallownest's borders. Though no specific release date exists currently, fans can expect further announcements as development progresses.
