Hollow Knight: Silksong leaves fans guessing with DLC hint, despite lack of release date; fans jest about potential lengthy development period: "Let's hope this DLC doesn't evolve into a complete game resembling an 8-year-long endeavor"
Hype for Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC Soars, Despite Uncertainty
The gaming community is going wild over the prospect of possible DLC for Hollow Knight: Silksong following a playful tease by Team Cherry's marketing lead, Matthew "Leth" Griffin. In a livestream on YouTube, Griffin took to the chat to drop the bombshell - or so fans believe - of "There's always DLC," leaving fans screaming in excitement. However, it's unclear whether this is a genuine hint at upcoming content or just a harmless joke.
The interest in Silksong DLC has divided the community, with some seeing it as good news, while others view it as a salt-rub in the wound given the delay in the sequel's release after six years of anticipation. Silksong was initially scheduled for a 2023 launch, but the developers decided they needed more time to ensure the game was nothing short of phenomenal.
In that time, fans have been treated to a few trailers and snippets of gameplay but little else. The game will release for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass. In April, a nine-second appearance in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed its 2025 release, and it was later revealed that the game will hit shelves before the Holiday 2022 season.
Some fans have taken to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with the latest development, with one user blasting, "RELEASE THE GOD DAMN GAME BEFORE TALKING ABOUT DLC!" Another user, seemingly frustrated by the DLC comment, asked, "How do they confirm DLC before a release date for the base game," complete with an exasperated crying emoji.
However, there are those who are jumping on the speculation bandwagon, with some jokingly asking for the DLC to turn into a full-fledged game that takes another eight years to develop. Silksong was originally planned as an expansion to the 2017 Hollow Knight before being developed into a standalone game. Maybe Team Cherry is just in on the joke!
Regardless, the people want that Silksong release date! Don't make us wait any longer, Team Cherry!
