Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Could Financially Ruin Reddit User

by

Recently, on the r/Silksong subreddit, a user daringly suggested a generous offer to the developers and community. The post’s title states: “If [Silksong] releases today, I will donate $1000 to every person in this post…” Now, the creators of Hollow Knight, Team Cherry, could pull off an incredibly ruthless yet comically brilliant move.

Hollow Knight: Silksong fan makes a huge gamble, offering thousands of dollars for the game to drop

Over the past few years, Hollow Knight: Silksong has emerged as one of the most eagerly awaited games. Since its initial trailer in 2019, there hasn’t been much new information about it, apart from the fact that Team Cherry is still developing the game. The anticipation for this sequel to the indie hit Hollow Knight has reached a boiling point, with almost every video game presentation’s live chat clamoring for any news regarding Silksong.

Enthusiasts scour for any scrap of details, like a current speculation where someone altered their social media profile to an image of a cake, leading to a chain of events suggesting a possible launch date for the game. It’s noteworthy that this turned out to be mere coincidence, but it underscores the extent fans are eager to uncover anything related to this game. Only after persistent requests from followers was a confirmation post from the developers finally shared, revealing that the game indeed exists and is being developed.

In approximately the next 48 hours, Team Cherry could seize a remarkable chance. While this isn’t necessarily a solid justification for launching the game immediately, doing so as part of an epic prank could be highly appreciated by the community. Given the excitement and anticipation surrounding the release, a sudden, unexpected unveiling might resonate well with fans. Regardless of the method, releasing the game is expected to be warmly received by the community.

It’s generally believed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will officially launch in 2025, having been initially projected for a release in the first half of 2023. However, the developers revealed in May 2023 that they needed more time to complete the game, which has grown larger than anticipated, hence the delay. With no significant updates since then and almost two years having passed since its initial expected launch, it seems likely that 2025 will be the year we finally get to play it. The recent announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 also adds intrigue to this potential release window.
