Update on Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date
It’s been a long wait for fans eagerly anticipating the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong on the Nintendo Switch. With 2023 quickly coming to a close, many have been searching for any sign of a possible release date. Fortunately, there have been some recent updates to the game’s web and store assets, providing a glimmer of hope for fans.
Significant Backend Updates
According to SteamDB, the game’s page on Steam has received its first significant backend updates since earlier this year. This news was brought to light by Wario64 on social media. While these updates may not be a definitive indication of an imminent release, they do suggest that there is still plenty of activity happening behind the scenes.

The most noticeable change is the uploading of new assets, including the game’s thumbnail, which had to be uploaded twice for a correction. While this may seem like a small detail, it shows that the developers are actively working on refining and updating the game’s presentation.
Development Challenges
The last official update from Team Cherry came earlier this year in May, when a representative mentioned that Silksong would no longer be releasing in the first half of 2023. The reason cited was that the game had become a much larger project than initially anticipated, and the development team wanted to ensure it was released in the best state possible.
This delay is understandable, considering the immense success and critical acclaim of the original Hollow Knight game. Fans have high expectations for Silksong, and the developers are keen to meet and exceed those expectations.
When Can We Expect Silksong?
With these recent updates, fans are naturally wondering when they can expect to get their hands on Hollow Knight: Silksong. Unfortunately, there is still no official release date. However, the fact that the developers are actively updating the game’s assets is a promising sign that progress is being made.
It’s important to remember that game development is a complex process, and unforeseen challenges can arise along the way. The developers at Team Cherry are dedicated to delivering a polished and unforgettable experience, which may require additional time.
