Everything we know about Hollow Knight Silksong: Trailer, gameplay and more

pocket-lint.com:

(Pocket-lint) — Hollow Knight is one of the most impressive independent games we've ever played — even years after its release, it still has an aura about it that we judge all other metroidvania platfomers against.

We've known for years that Team Cherry is working on a follow-up game, Hollow Knight: Silksong, but with very little information beyond that. Here are all the key details for you.

Silksong was announced to massive fanfare back in 2019 during a Nintendo Direct, and its first trailer is remarkably fleshed out for a game that then went pretty silent for basically three years.

It has plenty of clips of gameplay, but didn't end with a release date announcement at all. Years later, in June 2022, we saw the game again during Xbox's summer showcase, which pledged that it would show games coming out in the next 12 months.

That means that our latest impression is that Silksong should come out by June 2023 — but we wouldn't bet the house on it, as the game has gone dark on us before.

We can piece together a fairly clear idea of where you'll be able to play Silksong thanks to the various annoucements. We know that it will be on Xbox Series X/S on launch day, and will be included in " rel="" target="_blank">Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost, for one thing.

The game was first announced for " rel="" target="_blank">Nintendo Switch, so you can be sure it'll come to that console as well, while a Steam page also indicates that it'll be on PC.

The one gap comes where the PS4 and " rel=«noopener» target="_blank">PS5 are concerned — there's been no mention at all as yet of it hitting Sony's consoles, sadly.

From the trailers that have come out so far, it's easy to tell that Silksong is continuing where Hollow Knight left of in
