The much-anticipated sequel to Team Cherry’s beloved game, Hollow Knight, has made a sudden appearance on the Xbox Store, catching players off guard with its unexpected arrival on April Fool’s Day in 2024. Despite the unusual timing, the legitimacy of the listing has been confirmed by Xbox product marketing manager Tao Sila and other members of the Xbox team. This revelation has sparked a mix of excitement and confusion among fans eagerly awaiting the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was initially announced in 2019 and has made occasional appearances in various game showcases over the years. After being featured in a showcase intended for upcoming releases in 2022, the game mysteriously skipped the following year, leading to speculation about possible delays. As of now, an official release date for Silksong remains uncertain, leaving fans eager for any news or updates from Team Cherry regarding the game’s progress.
The recent Xbox Store listing for Hollow Knight: Silksong offers a glimpse into the game’s world, with a brief description of the plot and protagonist Hornet’s journey, along with accompanying screenshots. Notably, the listing also includes an “Everyone 10+” rating by the ESRB, citing “Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood.” While this rating hints at a step closer to the game’s release, it is worth noting that the specific rating has not yet appeared on the official ESRB website, raising questions about its legitimacy.
Typically, game ratings are finalized towards the end of the development cycle, signaling that Hollow Knight: Silksong may be closer to completion than anticipated. If this assumption holds true, fans can expect further updates and news about the game in the near future. Until then, it is advisable to temper expectations and await official announcements from Team Cherry regarding the status of Hollow Knight: Silksong, rather than relying on speculation and rumors circulating within the community.
