Team Cherry's highly anticipated "Host Knight: Silk Song" was only confirmed at the Summer Game Festival and Xbox Game Launch last weekend, "the 2025 holiday season is released before the season", which disappointed players who have been waiting for many years.And at this sensitive moment, Matthew "Leth" Griffin, the head of game marketing, actually joked about the DLC plan during the live broadcast, which triggered the player group to play with memes.

In the live broadcast of the theme of "The Hollow Knight", when discussing whether "Silkposting" would disappear with the game's release, Leth suddenly threw three words in the chat box: "There's always DLC (and DLC anyway)," which immediately triggered a barrage tsunami.Primacon laughed at the scene: "It's over, someone will soon post a screenshot to Reddit."

This "flying knife" accurately hits the players' pain points - after all, this game, which was announced in 2019 and originally scheduled to be released in 2023, has been so popular with the Nintendo Switch2 only facing the 9-second screen and sporadic trailer for six years. Now that the specific release date is not even determined, DLC is mentioned first.A player sarcastically said on Reddit: "I hope this DLC will not be a complete game that will be developed for 8 years" (the allusion to the original "Host Knight" DLC).

Some players couldn't hide their anger: "Taking the game first and then talking about DLC!" Someone roared.More people joined the black humor carnival: "What's the joke? It's just a joke," another highly praised comment wrote.Considering Leth's past naughty style (such as teasing players' expectations at the Summer Game Festival), this is likely just a joke.

What is known at present is that "The Hollow Knight: Song of Silk" will be available on the entire XSX|S/Xbox One/PC/PS5/PS4/Switch platform, will be added to XGP for the first time, and will be compatible with Xbox Ally handheld consoles.
