Silksong Is Real And Will Release, Reassures PR Manager

Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Real and Coming, Confirms Team Cherry

Recent speculation surrounding a cryptic cake-related tweet from a Hollow Knight co-creator has left fans buzzing. While that cake-related incident proved to be a misunderstanding, Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Manager, Matthew "Leth" Griffin, has stepped in to offer a much-needed update. He confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that Hollow Knight: Silksong is indeed real, currently in development, and will eventually be released.

This confirmation comes as a welcome relief to fans who have patiently awaited news for over a year and a half. The initial wave of excitement following the cake-related post was quickly followed by disappointment when it was revealed to be a simple profile picture change, with YouTuber fireb0rn reporting it as "a nothingburger." However, Griffin's subsequent reassurance on the game's status has reignited hope.

A Six-Year Journey

First announced in February 2019 with an initial release window of the first half of 2023, Silksong faced a delay in May 2023. Team Cherry cited the game's significant expansion and their commitment to quality as reasons for the postponement. The team previously teased features like a brand-new kingdom, nearly 150 new enemies, and a challenging new difficulty mode, "Silk Soul" mode. While the delay has understandably caused some impatience, Griffin's recent confirmation offers a glimmer of hope after nearly six years of anticipation.

The news has been met with a mixed reaction. While some fans express excitement and offer encouragement to the development team, others remain unconvinced, expressing frustration at the perceived lack of substantial updates.
