Hollow Knight: Silksong
Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally out after a legendary wait, and it's already one of the highest-rated games of the decade.
The context
After years of silence and memes about its delay, Team Cherry dropped Hollow Knight: Silksong on September 4, 2025. The game launched on every major platform, Switch, PS5, Xbox, PC, Mac, Linux, and hit Game Pass day one. Critics showered it with “universal acclaim” on Metacritic, and it sold over 7 million copies in its first months (excluding Game Pass players). The buzz is still massive because fans are deep-diving into its lore, debating endings, and obsessing over bosses like Lace and Phantom. An expansion has been teased, but details remain unconfirmed. For now, Silksong is the talk of the gaming world.
