It may have been 84 years, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is apparently coming out this year. Even though the long-awaited sequel still doesn’t have a firm release date, a member of Team Cherry caused a tizzy by suggesting there'd be DLC, comments he's since walked back and apologized for.
After Silksong popped up at the Xbox Games Showcase, capping off Summer Game Fest 2025, Matthew "Leth" Griffin – marketing lead on the Metroidvania – made an offhand remark about the existence of DLC in response to content creator Primacon. Naturally, this started traveling fast, the community taking it as confirmation of a roadmap, prompting Griffin to do some cleanup.
