"Hollow Knight: Silksong Mentioned in Xbox Indies Post, Sparks Community Excitement"

May 04,2025 Author: Aaron

Fans of Hollow Knight have been eagerly awaiting news about its sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and even the slightest mention can reignite their anticipation. Recently, Xbox's ID@Xbox post on Xbox Wire sparked excitement by casually referencing the game, hinting at a potential 2025 release. In the post, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards highlighted the success of the program, which has paid over $5 billion to independent developers, and mentioned upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak, alongside Hollow Knight: Silksong.

This mention suggests that Hollow Knight: Silksong could be on the horizon, especially given the release dates of the other games mentioned: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set for April 24, Descenders Next for April 9, and FBC: Firebreak has a tentative 2025 window. The wait has been long—about six years since the game's announcement—and fans are understandably impatient.

The reaction from the Silksong community has been a mix of humor and irony. On the Silksong subreddit, one commenter playfully asked, "Where's the bait?" while another expressed surprise at the mention by Xbox, referencing a scene from Squid Game Season 2. The community has bonded over their shared wait, with some likening their situation to a circus, using memes to convey their feelings.

There's a prevailing hope among fans that news about Hollow Knight: Silksong might come during Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct on April 2. This hope was fueled by some vague posts from developer Team Cherry around the official reveal of the Switch 2. While believers hold onto hope, doubters remain skeptical, with one commenter humorously referring to the community as an "$8 Mega Buffoon Pack."

The variety of responses to Xbox's casual mention of Hollow Knight: Silksong showcases the community's blend of hope and doubt. A standout reaction came from Reddit user u/cerberusthedoge, who quipped, "We got Hollow Knight Silksong 2 before Hollow Knight Silksong," encapsulating the playful yet frustrated sentiment of the fanbase.
