Hollow Knight: Silksong delayed for the first time; game is still not ready

One of the most anticipated games by the fans of indies and metroidvanias is Hollow Knight: Silksong, whose development has been pretty long. Unfortunately, the wait for the game will be longer as the project has just been delayed for the first time.

Although it seems that the wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been eternal, the truth is that it had never been delayed or at least not officially... until now.

On behalf of Team Cherry, the studio's public relantions man, Matthew Griffin, announced that the game is not ready yet, but development is still continuing", so they made the decision to delay the project.

When will Hollow Knight: Silksong be available?

This means that the game will not be available before July 2023, as planned, but at a later, undefined date. Chances are the game could be delayed to 2024 or arrive sooner, it is not clear.

What is certain is that in Team Cherry they are "excited" by how the game is shaping up: "it's gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can", said Griffin without asking for patience, he only anticipated that the studio will talk about the game once it is closer to its undefined release date.

Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong.

We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We're excited by how the game is shaping up, and it's gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.

Expect…
