Rumor: Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date Reveal Could Be Coming Soon

Hollow Knight: Silksong was classified in South Korea, a move that has sparked speculation about an impending announcement regarding its release date. The anticipation surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong has reached a fever pitch, with fans eagerly awaiting news of its release date.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed indie game Hollow Knight. Developed by Team Cherry, it promises a new adventure set in the same haunting and atmospheric world as its predecessor. Players assume the role of Hornet, a mysterious princess-protector, as she traverses a vast, interconnected kingdom teeming with perilous enemies, challenging platforming sections, and intricate boss battles reminiscent of those encountered in Hollow Knight.

Amid anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong was classified in South Korea, fueling the rumors about a possible release date reveal coming soon. The game’s classification for players aged 12 and over was discovered back in February by a Resetera user, indicating progress in the game’s development. This revelation gained traction after a Hollow Knight: Silksong store page was launched on Xbox.

New Silksong Store Page Launched on Xbox

For those who may be unaware, an Xbox employee recently tweeted about a new store listing for Silksong, enabling players to add the highly anticipated sequel to their wishlist on Xbox. This development has fueled additional speculation about an impending update, especially given that the tweet originated from Nick Zuclich, an Xbox Portfolio Senior Content Planning Manager. However, despite this buzz, Hollow Knight: Silksong still lacks a clear release window, and Team Cherry has remained silent since the initial delay, leaving fans uncertain about what awaits the highly anticipated sequel in 2024.

Hollow Knight became a major success story as it stands as a testament to the wide range of possibilities of indie gaming. It has achieved widespread acclaim for its compelling gameplay, rich atmosphere, and meticulously crafted world. Since its release in 2017, Hollow Knight has garnered a passionate fanbase, and its influence extends beyond its own success, inspiring countless indie developers. Now its sequel promises new features such as “lethal acrobatic action,” over 150 all-new foes, and a “Silk Soul” mode that allows players who have already beaten the game to play again in “an all-new mode that spins the game” into a challenging experience.

While the exact release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong remains unknown, the recent classification of the game in South Korea and the launch of its store page on Xbox signal that a reveal could be on the horizon. As fans eagerly await further updates, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be an interesting gaming experience in the Hollow Knight universe.
