While those statements are hyperbolic, the general lack of concrete details specified over 4 years likely has made some question if the joke has some level of truth to it. There is still a level of anxiousness within the Hollow Knight community over the length of time that has passed since the announcement, and incidents such as Hollow Knight: Silksong's website domain expiring have added fuel to a running joke over the game not coming out or not even being real. This is disappointing news to many wanting something more concrete, but others have taken the announcement positively as it shows the developers care about releasing a polished product. The timing of his statements also implies that nothing more will be learned about Silksong at this year's Xbox Games Showcase or during Summer Game Fest, as the only specification made is that more details will come out when the game is closer to release. That may or may not be the case, as Team Cherry's Marketing and PR Lead Matthew Griffin, stated in a development update the reasons for Hollow Knight: Silksong being delayed past its original launch window have to do with its scope being quite large and the developers wanting to take the time to make the best game possible. Since Hollow Knight: Silksong had been shown off at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2022, a presentation meant to show off titles releasing within a year, intentions for the first half of 2023 were made clear as it hints towards development being nearly complete. Team Cherry has not confirmed a new release date, meaning that any guesses are purely speculative based on what is known about the game. On the other hand, ‘Hollow Knight’ captivated critics and gamers alike with its charming art style, tough as nails combat and platforming and creative boss battles.With the delay of Hollow Knight: Silksong leading to more questions about its release, there is a distinct possibility it could still come out in the second half of 2023, but realistically it will likely come out in 2024. The game has sold nearly 3 million copies to date, and its success has engendered yet another sequel titled ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ with an all new protagonist, inside an all new world. Read on to find out everything we know about the upcoming ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’. The original ‘Hollow Knight’ released in February 2017 on the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over AU$ 57,000 in total. In the game, you played as a bug (who also happens to be a Knight) in the desolate insect kingdom of Hallownest. As you explore the depths of the town, you run into mindless creatures seized by a mysterious infection. You also run into the resident protector of the Hallownest ruins, a bug called Hornet. Over the course of the journey, The Knight discovers what happened to the town and its inhabitants, as well the true nature of his own being. Depending on a few key actions the player may or may not take, ‘Hollow Knight’ features three distinct endings. Two subsequent expansions – ‘The Grimm Troupe’ and ‘Godmaster’ added new subplots, bosses and two new endings to the game. The immense popularity of ‘Hollow Knight’ eventually led to dedicated releases on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’, you play as Hornet, who we know as the princess protector of the ruins of Hallownest from the previous game. The sequel is also set in the entirely new insect kingdom of Pharloom. Pharloom is a haunted kingdom said to be ruled by “silk and song”. Hornet is brought to the kingdom by force, and she must now reach the shining citadel at the top of the city in order to unravel the real reason she was brought to Pharloom. While ‘Hollow Knight’ had you delve into the depths of the Earth, ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ will have you reaching for the skies. Explore, fight and survive as you ascend to the peak of a land ruled by silk and song.” The Steam page for ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ describes it as follows: “Discover a vast, haunted kingdom in Hollow Knight: Silksong! The sequel to the award-winning action-adventure. Since ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ is set in an entirely new world, it will feature many new enemy types – over 150 different types at launch. Of course, the game world will also be populated by plenty of friendly Non Playable Characters (NPCs) as well.
