Summary
Steam and Nintendo gamers awaiting the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to the popular game Hollow Knight, have had a six-year wait for the game to be released.
This length of time has seen the announcement and release date become a meme among the gaming community.
The original Hollow Knight game was a hit with gamers thanks to its moody ambience and 2D platform combat.
The game’s first reveal as a downloadable expansion in 2014 focused on Hornet, who fought with a needle and thread, and had become a fully playable character.
Development decisions meant that Silksong would be a full-scale sequel to the original game and not just a DLC.
The game is set to be released in September 2023 on various console platforms.
