It looks like 2025 will be a hope for Hollow Knight Silksong. The long-awaited sequel may make fans happy this year.
Hollow Knight Silksonghas become one of the most anticipated productions in the gaming world since its announcement in 2019. However, this sequel developed by Team Cherry has made its fans impatient with years of silence and postponements. According to Bloomberg writer Jason Schreier, Hollow Knight Silksong could finally debut this year and sell millions of copies. Although Schreier states that this prediction is based only on intuition, the popularity of the game on social media strengthens this possibility.
Why Is Hollow Knight Silksong So Anticipated?
Released in 2017, Hollow Knight redefined the Metroidvania genre. The game’s deep strategies, impressive art style, and exploration-focused world received high marks from critics and fans alike. The success of Hollow Knight raised expectations for Silksong considerably.
Silksong aims to further develop the solid foundation of the first game. The fact that Team Cherry consists of only three developers also explains why the game’s production process took so long. The studio treats every design decision with care. Hollow Knight’s pixel-perfect and hand-crafted world means Silksong must deliver the same quality.
Team Cherry released a gameplay trailer in 2022 after the announcement in 2019. This raised hopes that the game would be released in 2023. However, the studio has remained silent since then. Still, predictions from industry experts like Schreier and the knowledge that the game will launch on Game Pass indicate that 2025 could be a big year for Silksong.
Silksong will tell the story of a new character, Hornet. Players will encounter new enemies, different areas to explore, and deeper gameplay. According to the developers, every design decision of Silksong aims to provide players with an unforgettable experience. Fans have been patiently waiting for Hollow Knight Silksong for a long time. If the predictions come true, 2025 may be the year when this wait ends and Silksong makes its mark on the gaming world.
