– Silksong follows Hornet’s journey from underground Pharloom to the Citadel, with unclear ties to the first game’s setting, Hallownest.
– Originally slated for early 2023, the game was delayed in May 2023, with recent footage appearing in an Xbox sizzle reel.

Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong were left disappointed once again as the highly anticipated sequel failed to appear in Nintendo’s latest Direct presentation. Despite widespread speculation, the event came and went without any mention of Team Cherry’s upcoming title, leaving enthusiasts with more questions than answers.
The absence continues a pattern of silence from the developers, who have remained tight-lipped since the game’s initial announcement in 2019. While this approach suggests a focus on polishing the final product, the lack of updates has only intensified fan theories and impatience, especially after Microsoft’s assurance of a 2024 release.
Silksong shifts the spotlight to Hornet, the agile warrior from the original game, as she navigates the mysterious kingdom of Pharloom. Unlike the decaying ruins of Hallownest, Pharloom presents a more structured, industrial setting, though its connection to the first game’s world remains shrouded in mystery. Hornet’s mission? To ascend from the depths and reach the towering Citadel, though her motives for doing so are still unclear.
Originally slated for release in early 2023, the game faced delays, with Team Cherry confirming last May that development was still underway. A brief glimpse surfaced recently in an Xbox promotional reel, reigniting hope, but concrete details remain scarce.
For those eager to experience Silksong firsthand, a playable demo will be available at Gamescom next month, courtesy of Xbox’s showcase lineup. While this offers a glimmer of progress, the lingering question persists: will the final product justify the years of anticipation? Only time will tell.
