Remember Silksong, the long awaited sequel to Hollow Knight, one of the most well regarded games coming out of the Metroidvania genre in recent years?
News of the sequel’s whereabouts has been quite dry recently, but several happenings in the past week have stirred up new rumblings about whether fans might get that long awaited release date they have been hoping for.
On April 1 (no, this wasn’t a prank), the Xbox store gained a new listing for the game, where fans are able to add it to their wishlists. Up to this point, all other platforms that the game will be released on have already had listings created. This includes Nintendo Switch’s eShop, as well as PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, which includes Steam and GOG. This would be enough to fan the flames of a possible imminent announcement, but there’s more.
In the past week, it has been discovered by Gematsu that, on February 20, Hollow Knight: Silksong was rated in South Korea by their local ratings authority. This is not solid evidence that more news is coming soon, but South Korean game ratings and ratings from other countries have come before official announcements previously.
After a long period of little to no news on the anticipated sequel, the past week has brought fans hope that they might see an official announcement soon. We’ll be sure to keep you updated when that announcement arrives.
