After six long years of waiting, Silksong finally has a release date—as announced on Team Cherry’s YouTube channel. It’s my pleasure to inform you that Silksong will finally be arriving to PC on September 4, marking an end to years of waiting for the Hollow Knight sequel and, tragically, over half a decade of top-tier Silkposting.

I’ll miss the Silkposts. Spawning primarily from the troubled mind of the r/Silksong subreddit, the long wait for this game—and Team Cherry’s unique strategy of ‘say nothing until they start eating each other’—and the Silksanity is finally at an end.
While my colleague Robin Valentine found the game to be excellent during his 30 minute playthrough of the demo at Gamescom, I’m not entirely sure the full game can stand up to the sheer lore that’s been built over our long vigil. Make no mistake, I think it’s gonna be very, very good—but c’mon, we’ve had:
And that’s just the stuff I’ve been here for. The wait for this game has, in the midst of suffering, spawned countless memes, pieces of art, videos, fiction, poetry, and uh—just a really upsetting amount of ritual sacrifice. More than what I mentioned above. It’s basically tradition. In a sense, the enduring love of the game has superseded the love of, well, the game.
I’m not sure what lies around the corner, but one thing’s for certain: Gentlebugs, it’s been an honour. Silksong… well, not tomorrow, but so very soon.
