Until then, I'm going to do my best to stop expecting to see Silksong again anytime soon. I want to be surprised again and again, just like I was in the first game, as I kept stumbling into new areas.Īs with Elden Ring's 2021 Summer Game Fest appearance, I think Silksong will be worth the wait when it does re-emerge. I want Silksong to preserve the same mystery that I felt in Hollow Knight: I really don't want to know how big the world will be or what kind of enemies I'll run into. Its been four years since Team Cherrys Hollow Knight first arrived, having been successfully funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2014. June 13, 2022: We updated the page with the latest on Hollow Knight: Silksong, including its vague new release window. Once the Bell Beast is freed, she attacks Hornet. Everything we know about Team Cherrys anticipated sequel. She is initially found in the Marrow, where she is trapped in Silk. The Bell Beast appears to be the main method of fast travel throughout Pharloom. She was first seen in the Silksong reveal trailer. When Silksong does come out, I expect it'll make a bigger splash than a Metroid sequel that was 20 years in the making.īut when will that be? Agonizing as the wait is, I'm okay with Team Cherry working away without the distractions of maintaining a development blog or tweeting out art or screenshots every few weeks. The Bell Beast is an upcoming enemy, NPC, and possible boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Metroid Dread kicked up a lot of comparisons, too, and I don't think it's too controversial to say that Hollow Knight's combat, art and level design are a cut above. I see a discussion thread from someone new playing it for the first time, and the takeaway is usually: I heard Hollow Knight was good, but I didn't think it would be this good.

Since 2019, while Team Cherry has been hard at work on a sequel, Hollow Knight's prestige has only continued to grow. We're closing in on the same amount of time Elden Ring spent in silence. Since then, nothing-a year and a half without a scrap of new information. Then it was quiet for a year, until our sister publication Edge magazine ran a cover feature on Silksong in December 2020. EDGE Magazine - Hollow Knight: Silksong Preview (PC/Switch only at launch, release date TBA) Thread starter WildflowerWildfire Start date Discussion. It's understandable: Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced in February 2019 and shown a couple times that year. (We pray.That sure feels like the Elden Ring subreddit after yet another disappointment, though there aren't quite as many poor souls posting in pain. But we still expect it at some point in 2023. Whether or not Hollow Knight Silksong hits its predicted Q1/Q2 release window, as per last year's E3 showing, remains to be seen. That is, of course, testament to how wonderful the first game is – easily one of the best Metroidvania games of all-time – making number two a shoe-in among the most anticipated games for 2023. Given the fact that Silksong's Hornet protagonist was originally planned as a DLC-gated second playable character in the first game – funded as a stretch goal in Hollow Knight's successful Kickstarter campaign way back – the fact that Team Cherry's sequel is commanding so much attention now is quite remarkable. Last summer, the first Hollow Knight game's concurrent player number hit an all-time high, suggesting that intrigue in this universe is as big as it's ever been. In any event, the longer Silksong goes without committing to a date, or showing off new footage, or teasing new information, the faster the hype train goes.

'Going by this, Silksong should appear at some point in the first half of this year, then, which is great news assuming it happens.'
