Team Cherry has offered a glimmer of hope to eager fans, confirming that development on the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong is ongoing. However, the indie studio remains tight-lipped about a potential release date, leaving the community in suspense.
While the confirmation itself is a positive step, the lack of any concrete timeline has done little to quell the fervent speculation surrounding the game’s launch. Fans have been eagerly awaiting Silksong since its initial announcement, with many hoping for a 2024 release.
Our Take: The Long Wait Continues
The silence from Team Cherry regarding Silksong‘s release date has become a recurring theme. While this can be attributed to the studio’s dedication to polish and delivering a high-quality experience, it’s also a challenging situation for a fanbase that has waited years for the sequel. The original Hollow Knight is a masterpiece of indie game design, setting a very high bar for its successor. The anticipation is palpable, and the continued ambiguity, while understandable from a development standpoint, can be frustrating. We echo the sentiment of many players: we’d rather wait for a complete, polished game than receive a rushed product, but a little more transparency would go a long way.
Hollow Knight: Silksong promises to expand upon the beloved Metroidvania formula with new characters, a new world, and new abilities for the agile protagonist, Hornet.
