Hollow Knight: Silksong finally releases on September 4
Six years after being announced
Outshined only by the elusive Grand Theft Auto VI, Hollow Knight: Silksong is the holy grail of every gamer these days. Even if you haven’t played the original Hollow Knight, you should’ve seen the long six-year wait for the mythical sequel, Silksong. Well, after six years, the much-awaited sequel is finally coming. Hollow Knight: Silksong is launching on September 4.
Released in 2017, Hollow Knight quickly became the darling child of the indie gaming scene. The unique Metroidvania highlighted everything that was so good about the genre’s predecessors, Metroid and Castlevania. To top it all off, the game had a plot that took inspiration from Dark Souls. It was a unicorn.
In 2019, Team Cherry announced the game’s sequel, Silksong. Rather than focusing on the original game’s protagonist, the sequel centers the spotlight on Hornet, another major character from the main game. Unfortunately, despite the announcement, the sequel kept getting delayed for development reasons. Major platforms, including Xbox and Nintendo, kept confirming the game to no avail.
Now, at the ongoing Gamescom, Team Cherry finally announced the awaited sequel’s release date… and it’s not too long from now! Hollow Knight: Silksong is officially launching PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Linux, and macOS.
Silksong is a full sequel taking place after the events of Hollow Knight. Hornet finds herself captured and taken to the kingdom of Pharloom. For reasons still unknown, she escapes and tries to ascend to the treacherous peak of this haunted kingdom.
