In a news drop that’s electrified the gaming scene, indie developer Team Cherry has officially set a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Mark your calendars for September 4th and prepare your wallets for a friendly $20 pinch. This comes on the heels of an accidental leak thanks to the folks at GameStop, who unearthed the price tag during their pre-launch maneuvers. The announcement raises the pulse of fans who’ve been eagerly eyeing every breadcrumb since the original Hollow Knight enchanted players worldwide.
Hollow Knight, which launched way back in 2017, didn’t just hop onto the indie scene-it crash-landed, leaving a significant crater with its breathtaking hand-drawn style, gripping soundtrack, and challenging gameplay. With over 3 million copies sold, expectations are sky-high for Silksong. Originally slated as extra content for Hollow Knight, Silksong has morphed into its universe, reflecting Team Cherry’s passion for crafting a game experience worth your time (and money).
The stated $20 price tag mirrors that of its forebear, considering economic tides. It’s a move that’s leaving fans nodding in approval. Initially, this figure covers buyers in the U.S., EU, and Japan; other regions like the UK, Australia, and Canada will hear specifics as the launch date approaches. For the money-minded gaming globetrotters, here’s how it shakes out elsewhere:
Silksong isn’t just dropping on September 4th; it’s leaping across time zones around the globe:
The gaming community is all aflutter, forums buzzing and countdowns ticking as enthusiasts prepare for what they dub the “release of the year” in indie gaming. “This price point shows a unique understanding of the indie game market,” remarks a renowned game analyst. The price makes Silksong inviting to a broad audience without sacrificing the rich gameplay experience Team Cherry is known for.
Aligning with successful indie titles like Undertale and Celeste, Silksong’s price strategy pulls no punches, ensuring more hands on controllers at launch. Additionally, Silksong hits Xbox Game Pass on day one, letting subscribers plunge into Hallownest 2.0 without shelling out extra cash.
As Team Cherry hints at juicy future content or potential surprise announcements, players are anticipating not just the game’s launch, but the ripple effects it might create. Watch closely as Silksong’s influence carves its niche in the expanding Metroidvania genre.
