The highly-anticipated and long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong has been rated in Australia, which is just the latest encouraging update for the Metroidvania game. The original Hollow Knight game was a big success, earning widespread positive reviews for successfully blending the exploration elements of the Metroidvania genre with the tough-as-nails boss fights associated with FromSoftware's Soulslike games.
Considering how popular the original Hollow Knight was, it comes as no surprise that Hollow Knight: Silksong has been so hotly anticipated. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the game ever since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced in February 2019, but updates on it have been few and far between. Hollow Knight: Silksong's absence has become a meme at this point, but it seems a proper update on the game's progress could be coming in the very near future.
Various ratings boards across the world have been issuing their ratings for Hollow Knight: Silksong, a sign that a game's development is progressing well and a release date announcement could be imminent. The latest Hollow Knight: Silksong rating comes from Australia, with the game labeled PG for «Mild Violence.» This combined with the previous ratings certainly seems to point to Hollow Knight: Silksong finally gearing up for release, so fans should keep their eyes peeled for an announcement.
For Hollow Knight fans, the wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been almost unbearable at times. While there were multiple updates about the game in 2019, it went radio silent for three years, finally resurfacing at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022. At the time, Hollow Knight: Silksong was confirmed for Xbox Game Pass, with the game set to arrive on the subscription service the very day of its release. It was also insinuated at the event that Hollow Knight: Silksong would then be released within the next 12 months, but the game was ultimately delayed.
