Hollow Knight: Silksong boldly teases DLC before even giving a release date, and fans are poking fun to hide the pain: "Sure hope this DLC doesn't turn into a full fledged game that takes 8 years to develop"

Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Fans of Team Cherry's feverishly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong were hoping to get a new trailer and a concrete release date during Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase last weekend. However, all we learned is that it's coming before Holiday 2025 — a meager morsel of info that's done nothing to satiate players starved for news. And now, in the wake of that announcement, one Silksong dev has seen fit to cheekily hint at DLC for the game.

The tease came on Wednesday during a livestream from Hollow Knight-loving YouTuber Primacon. As Primacon commented his belief that "Silkposting" — AKA, the never-ending stream of jokes and memes from fans desperate to see or hear more of Silksong — won't cease even after Silksong does eventually come out, Silksong marketing lead Matthew "Leth" Griffin left a very short, very significant message in his chat.
