Team Cherry has quietly updated Steam assets for Hollow Knight: Silksong

eurogamer.net:

Team Cherry has quietly updated Steam assets for its highly-anticipated Hollow Knight sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

As spotted by Wario64 with the help of SteamDB, Hollow Knight: Silksong on Steam has had its first significant update since January 2023, with Team Cherry quietly swapping out a graphic for an updated version.

While it's in no way indicative of an upcoming release date or anything like that – sorry – the changes to the storefront graphics are at least a sign that work is still underway behind the scenes, with the team twice uploading «capsule art» – that is, the artwork you see on the game's storefront – in the last week, the most recent of which was uploaded earlier today.

From what fans can tell, a second version of the same image was uploaded to correct a small stylistic error on the image uploaded on 21st September (it looks as though only one «L» was capitalised in the game's name, whilst the replacement image has both capitalised), but it's the first time Team Cherry has made any change to the Silksong Steam storefront all year beyond a handful of tag amendments, so make of that what you will (thanks, PCGN).

For now, Hollow Knight: Silksong has no formal release date – or even a release window – but we'll let you know when that changes.
