Hollow Knight: Silksong was released on September 4, 2025, but Team Cherry continues to innovate. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen elaborated on future updates, including potential expansions similar to the significant post-launch content added to the original Hollow Knight.
Gibson and Pellen noted that Silksong would need creative integration of new content to maintain its gameplay structure, suggesting,
“It would just be gargantuan by the end of it all”.

Future Updates and DLC Plans
While no DLC release window has been established, the team has teased that
- New content development is already underway.
- Familiar characters and encounters will return in upcoming expansions.
- The developers aim to incorporate both new and retrofitted features into ongoing updates.
Communication regarding upcoming content will increase as plans solidify. Until then, gamers must be patient as Team Cherry shapes the next chapter of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
