Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has a release date, and it's soon, with the long-awaited game slated to arrive on September 4. There is a lot of hype and pent-up demand for Silksong, and with that in mind, two developers have opted to delay their releases that were scheduled close to Silksong.

Hollow Knight was released in 2017 and quickly gained a positive reputation for Team Cherry, the developer. It was a new breed of Metroidvania that combined difficult Soulslike combat and punishments to the genre while also being a bit more balanced. That’s why, when Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced in 2019, the community went wild.
