Hollow Knight: Silksong News

Hollow Knight: Silksong And The Strange System of Hype

It’s hard for me to imagine a more highly anticipated game in recent gaming history than Hollow Knight: Silksong. Almost every Nintendo Direct or Sony State of Play since the game was announced back in 2019 has generated a tsunami of memes in hopes the game would get a detailed trailer or release date announcement—heck, even Geoff Keighley tried to get in on the joke.

I was as excited as anyone to see Hollow Knight: Silksong get a surprise release date during Summer Games Fest 2025; however, some of that excitement was dissolved by the news that followed the announcement. At the time of writing, at least seven games have been delayed due to Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release—two of which, Demonschool and Little Witch in the Woods, I was personally really looking forward to.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - our review is on the way

Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially buzzed across the thin red line between "entirely hypothetical object of mass hysteria" and "existing videogame that you can play on your PC". Team Cherry's new metroidvania is live now on Steam and GOG. You can actually buy it with your actual money. Should you buy it? Sadly, I don't yet have a Hollow Knight: Silksong review for you, because Team Cherry have decided not to distribute any codes in advance. If you're reading a Silksong review right now, the reviewer is either a worryingly close confidant of the developers or a filthy bloody liar or some other, totally innocent third thing.

Silksong nation, how are we feeling? We are now just days away from shaw'ing our way into Hollow Knight Silksong, kicking off our adventure through the kingdom of Pharloom. It's been a long ol' road; for years I thought we were collectively under the influence of the Mandela effect. But, as we tick into September, Team Cherry has now confirmed not only the exact price Silksong will set you back, but precise timings for when you need to leave work 'because tummy hurty' in your region.

Don't expect Hollow Knight Silksong reviews at launch

After years of waiting, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally announced a launch date earlier today, and it's just around the corner. The first game has established a reputation as one of the most beloved Metroidvanias of all time, standing alongside Nine Sols, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Dead Cells as an exemplar of the genre.

That's because Team Cherry has reportedly stated that the game won't be made available to reviewers ahead of launch.
