Hollow Knight: Silksong has been delayed. Team Cherry had ā€œplanned to release in the 1st half of 2023ā€³ but the title has ā€œgotten quite bigā€.


 

Sad news for fans of insect-based Metroidvanias. The long-awaited sequel to 2017ā€™s Hollow Knight, Hollow Knight: Silksong, has been pushed back to an unspecified date beyond June. Last year, after the game was shown at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, it was promised that it would be out within the next 12 months, and would be available on Game Pass at launch.

However, in a Twitter post today, Matthew Griffin at developer Team Cherry has announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong wonā€™t launch in the first half of 2023 as planned, explaining that the new adventure has ā€œgotten quite bigā€ and that the team want to ā€œtake the time to make the game as good as we canā€.

Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced in February 2019. The game, which stars Hollow Knightā€™s occasional antagonist Hornet, was originally being planned as DLC for the original title, but soon became a full sequel. Hollow Knight: Silksong is set for release on PC, Mac, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S at some unspecified date in the future. Although hopefully not too far in the future.
