Seven new games are joining in the second half of April, including four new releases. Xbox also announced three games coming to Game Pass Core. However, six games will leave Microsoft’s subscription service at the end of the month.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Got an Xbox Store Page on April Fools Day and Fans Don't Know How to Feel
01.04.2024 - 23:57 / ign.com
It's hard to overstate how eagerly Hollow Knight fans have been awaiting its sequel, Silksong, five years after it was initially announced. And now, they got a little bit of hope, in the form of an Xbox Store page.
Today, with little fanfare, Hollow Knight: Silksong got an official listing on Microsoft's website. There's no release date, no trailer, no pre-orders, or anything of that sort outside of wishlisting, but it's something, right? Right?
Oh, and one more catch: it just so happens to be April Fools Day, which has some fans treating the mysterious listing with a healthy amount of skepticism.
"Today I will not be fooled by SilkSong release dates. I will not be fooled by SilkSong announcements of any kind," wrote Twitch Director of Community Marketing & Production Merry Kish on X/Twitter. "My head is clear and my heart is open you cannot destroy me I have prepared my soul for today you rat bastards."
Today I will not be fooled by SilkSong release dates. I will not be fooled by SilkSong announcements of any kind.
My head is clear and my heart is open you cannot destroy me I have prepared my soul for today you rat bastards.
To be clear, there's no indication that this is some kind of cruel April Fools Day joke by developer Team Cherry or Microsoft, but it also doesn't tell us a whole lot about where the highly anticipated sequel is. A game can be listed on the Xbox store for any number of reasons, including routine backend work, and some listings go up well in advance of release. Silksong has also had listings on several other stores for some time now, including PSN and the Nintendo eShop.
But with a game as anticipated as Silksong, any crumb of information will spur all kinds of speculation. Even Xbox Portfolio's Senior Content Planning Manager Nick Zuclich ever-so-innocently highlighted the listing on his own X/Twitter:
Hmmm

Overwatch 2's April Fools Update Had a Hilarious Impact on PvE
Overwatch 2 released a special April Fools' Day update, giving players access to a wacky game mode in the Arcade as well as adding Googly eyes to the characters, though it appears this update also impacted NPC characters as well. For many fans, April Fools' Day can be a double edged sword, as many companies come up with some elaborate pranks that many only wish were true. For example, CD Projekt RED revealed a fake special Limited Floppy Edition of Cyberpunk 2077, putting the game on 97,619 3.5in diskettes.
