After an extensive period of anticipation, Team Cherry, the developer behind the critically acclaimed indie title Hollow Knight, has officially announced the launch date for its highly awaited sequel, Hollow Knight Silksong. Fans can mark their calendars for September 4, when the game will become available on PC and various console platforms.
This revelation came during a special presentation, putting an end to years of speculation, rumors, and fervent community discussions. While recent years were filled with uncertainty regarding the game`s progress, the past few months have brought encouraging updates, culminating in this definitive release announcement.
The release of Silksong coincides with the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally, a new handheld gaming PC slated for an October 16 launch. Team Cherry confirmed their intention to release Silksong in time for the holiday season debut of the new Xbox hardware. Furthermore, a significant boon for players is that the game will be accessible through Xbox Game Pass from day one.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently generating considerable buzz at Gamescom, where long queues of eager fans are forming for an opportunity to experience the much-anticipated title firsthand.
Steve Watts, following his hands-on experience with Silksong at Gamescom, remarked, “Hollow Knight: Silksong appears to be exactly what we all should have expected: a strong, well-designed, visually lovely game that carries forward the aesthetic and design philosophies of the original with thoughtful, if not earth-shattering, updates.” This statement reassures fans that the sequel will maintain the high standards set by its predecessor while introducing refinements.
