Hollow Knight: Silksong News

Hollow Knight Silksong will not have in-game purchases, Team Cherry confirms

Team Cherry's Matthew Griffin says Hollow Knight Silksong will not have "anything like" in-game purchases, after a supposed ESRB rating on the game's Xbox webpage suddenly claimed it would. Griffin also says the developer is looking into having this information changed, so it shouldn't cause confusion much longer. So no, despite what you might have seen, Silksong isn't going to have microtransactions.

Don't worry, confused skongers, Hollow Knight: Silksong's release definitely isn't tied to that Xbox handheld

The collective desperation for Hollow Knight: Silksong has evolved. Rather than people getting all up a height about the prospect of getting any news about it, they've now been left up a height due to confusion around some news they have gotten about the game. Cue Team Cherry having to step in to offer a bit of clarification about Silksong's Xbox Showcase cameo yesterday.

In case you were washing your hair, Silksong popped up during the bit that saw Microsoft introduce its handheld, the ROG Xbox Ally. There was the usual hardware spinning around and looking cool, plus Xbox's Sarah Bond saying when Silksong popped up on the handheld's screen that the game'll be "available at launch and in Game Pass when the Ally releases later this year".

Now that the biggest videogame showcases of the summer have come and gone, I'm sad to say we didn't get a Hollow Knight Silksong shadow drop or launch date announcement. I'd been holding out hope, but I now understand that was a pipe dream. Team Cherry's internet-breaking Metroidvania did come up a few times, though, getting name-dropped by Deadpool during the Summer Game Fest showcase, with five seconds of new footage also debuting at the Xbox event. In fact, the latter seems to have caused a bit of confusion as to when Silksong is actually out, but Team Cherry has cleared things up.
