It's been six years since the announcement of *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, and while the development process has seen intermittent updates, fans have endured long stretches of silence from Team Cherry. January brought a flurry of activity on social media, particularly from one developer on X/Twitter, fueling speculation about a potential re-reveal during the upcoming Switch 2 Direct and possibly a launch exclusive on Nintendo's next-gen console.

When Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced, Team Cherry confirmed its launch on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch.

However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of 2023, indicating that the game had expanded significantly during development. Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry's marketing and publishing lead, stated: "We had planned to release in the first half of 2023, but development is still continuing. 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."

As the sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight released in 2017, Silksong carries immense expectations and remains one of the most wishlisted games on Steam.
