Fans of Team Cherry are buzzing, right? Everybody’s on edge waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase — nada on the release date. Just this vague “before Holiday 2025” thing, leaving us all ridiculously hungry for more. Okay, so here’s the juicy bit: a dev cheekily hinted at possible DLC. Yep, more stuff before the game’s even dropped.
So picture this: it’s a Wednesday, and there’s this YouTuber, Primacon, who totally loves Hollow Knight. During his stream, amid the jokey “Silkposting” — fun word for crazy memes and stuff from fans — Matthew “Leth” Griffin, the marketing guy for Silksong, drops a bomb in the chat: “There’s always DLC.” Like, totally casual but HUGE! Obviously, the chat explodes. Primacon? Lost it, laughing. Bet someone screenshotted that faster than a cat on catnip and slapped it all over Reddit.
And yeah, they did:
> Leth officially confirms Silksong DLC in Primacon’s chat from r/Silksong
People are either thrilled, annoyed, or just plain confused. Some folks think it’s a cruel tease, a weird twist like Geoff Keighley’s jab back at Summer Game Fest. Others? They’re like, hey, DLC would rock! But wait, this Leth comment? Could be joking, right? Who really knows? It’s kind of maddening since, you know, the main game STILL has no solid release date. Patience’s running thin like ice on a hot sidewalk.
Back in 2019, yup, SEVEN years ago, Silksong was slated to pop out in 2023. Delays? Sure, devs wanted perfection. Seen only dribs and drabs since — maybe a couple trailers, a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in Nintendo’s thing in April. Confirmed for 2025. Cool-cool. But Microsoft’s Xbox Ally rolled out announcements just screamed “before Holiday 2025.”
The reactions are great — some fans joke, “Hope this DLC doesn’t turn into an 8-year saga!” Talk about digging at how Silksong started as just an expansion to the 2017 game. Another fan said, “If this ain’t a Silkpost, then what is?” Love the humor here.
Now, while Leth’s comment stirred quite the pot, you can almost hear the groans echoing online. I mean, please! RELEASE THE GAME! They yell through the screens, heavy sighs included. “How’s there DLC news when we don’t even have a game release date?” — Classic agony emojis follow.
We really can’t say if this is legit DLC news or just Leth trolling. Honestly feels like the latter. It’s like that moment when a friend acts all mysterious then bursts out laughing. But seriously, Team Cherry, spill the beans! Fans are starving for Silksong.
So, for anyone living under a rock, Hollow Knight: Silksong is supposedly landing before Holiday 2025 on various platforms. It’ll also hit Xbox Game Pass and pair up with Xbox Ally when that arrives. Cross your fingers, folks. ✨
