Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed action-platformer Hollow Knight, has finally been given a release date.

Silksong will be playable on the Nintendo Switch 2, which features a 120Hz TV Mode, allowing for smoother gameplay. This is expected to be a significant draw for Nintendo Switch users [1]. PC gamers are also anticipated to show strong support for the game, given its popularity on Steam, where it is the most wishlisted game [2].

The development of Silksong has been a lengthy process, with the team taking seven years to complete the game. The last two years were dedicated to polishing and adding details to ensure the game is of the highest quality [2].
