This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

The wait continues for a Hollow Knight: Silksong release date, even after its brief appearance at the Xbox Games Showcase, but development house Team Cherry is already sending some complicated signals about the metroidvania’s post-launch DLC support. News about the highly anticipated Silksong has been infrequent for years since its announcement in 2019, with fans hanging on every word that comes from the studio’s reps.

Team Cherry’s marketing lead, Matthew “Leth” Griffin, commented in a YouTube stream chat hinting at the existence of Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC, according to GamesRadar. With the comment being taken as confirmation of DLC already being planned for the unreleased game, Hollow Knight fans took the news as both exciting and ominous – Sliksong itself was originally planned to be DLC for Hollow Knight, before it was spun off into a sequel and began it’s protracted development.

Griffin then took a step back to explain his comment in the Hollow Knight Discord server. “I was joking that silkposting would continue post launch – the video had a question about if silkposting would end when the game comes out,” he said, referring to the numerous memes made by the game’s fanbase to cope with the long wait. He continued, “I think DLC is likely, but that decision isn’t up to me. We’ll have to wait and see.”
