Hollow Knight: Silksong Releasing Sooner Rather Than Later Has One Benefit

by

As a gaming enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement! It seems like the wait for the long-anticipated “Hollow Knight: Silksong” might be coming to an end soon, with whispers growing louder about its potential debut at Summer Game Fest. Over the years, this game has been one of the most eagerly awaited titles out there, but its prolonged development phase left many fans scratching their heads, wondering if we’d ever get a chance to play it. Here’s hoping the rumors are true and we can finally dive back into the captivating world of Hollow Knight!

I’m thrilled to share that my favorite game, Silksong, has received a nifty little update, which could possibly hint at its upcoming release! The changes on its Steam page have got me all tingly, especially with Summer Game Fest approaching. If Team Cherry decides to grace us with their presence at the event, they might just unveil the launch date. Fingers crossed that if Silksong secures a 2025 or 2026 release window, it’ll fill the gap left by FromSoftware’s recent single-player game drought!

FromSoftware’s Venture Into Multiplayer Waters Might Be an Unexpected Help Hand to Hollow Knight: Silksong

Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods

  • Elden Ring Nightreign launched on May 30.
  • The Duskbloods is slated for a 2026 release.

It’s intriguing to see FromSoftware focusing on multiplayer experiences, yet many long-term fans are still yearning for a new single-player game from them. Ever since the release of Elden Ring in 2022, it has kept both old and new players engaged, but it’s disappointing that a follow-up single-player title isn’t expected anytime soon. For now, it seems like FromSoftware is heavily invested in multiplayer projects this year and next. It’s worth noting that FromSoftware hasn’t given up on single-player games entirely; however, based on the current pace, we might not see another one until 2027, leaving a gap in their solo lineup. But there’s still a glimmer of hope if Silksong makes an appearance soon.

Elden Ring Nightreign can be played solo, but it was designed specifically as a co-op experience.

Siksong’s Soulslike Influence Could Draw in More Players

Absolutely, the Hollow Knight series is primarily a Metroidvania style game, yet it carries an influence reminiscent of Soulslike games. The original Hollow Knight provides a demanding experience similar to FromSoftware’s titles, and Silksong is expected to maintain this trend. As Elden Ring Nightreign and The Duskbloods focus on multiplayer elements, many gamers might yearn for a challenging single-player game, and Silksong could very well be one of the top picks to satisfy that craving.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel the hype building around the upcoming game, Silksong. If the rumors swirling around prove accurate, this sequel from Team Cherry is set to become one of the most anticipated releases, either this year or the next. The anticipation is off the charts, and with FromSoftware yet to release a new single-player game, it seems that Silksong might attract a whole new wave of players who aren’t just diehard Hollow Knight fans like me.

Initially, Hollow Knight: Silksong was unveiled as early as 2019, initially planned as an expansion pack.

Whether It’s This Year or Next, Silksong Will Shake Up the Industry

2025 is shaping up to be an absolute dream for gamers like me, with a plethora of highly-anticipated releases on the horizon. Titles such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Split Fiction, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Doom: The Dark Ages, and upcoming gems like Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei are already stacked on my list. If Silksong is added to this lineup, it will be a gaming extravaganza beyond belief! However, if Silksong drops next year, it’ll have some serious competition in the form of the colossal GTA 6.

It’s still unclear when the game Silksong will be released, but there are hints suggesting that Summer Game Fest might bring some unexpected announcements. With the event just around the corner, it will be exciting to discover if Silksong finally reveals the long-awaited news for gamers.
