Hollow Knight Silksong release: Now other games are already making fun of the waiting time

If you clicked wildly on the news after the words Hollow Knight: Silksong in combination with the word “Release” and immediately scanned the message for a date, then unfortunately we have to disappoint you. When the Metroidvania will appear, there is still no trace of the message in April 2022. Not only in the Nintendo Direct News here on GamePro has the possible announcement become a running gag, meanwhile the lack of publication is even being discussed in other games – and in a wonderful way.

The release of Silksong becomes a running gag

Have you heard about the 2D Metroidvania Haiku the Robot heard that was released for Switch and PC earlier this week and is getting positive feedback on Steam? Admittedly, the small indie game was only vaguely known to us so far. But that has now suddenly changed due to a very humorous allusion to Hollow Knight: Silksong.

So when is Silksong coming out?

We’ll find out 100 percent at the upcoming Nintendo Direct. No, joking aside, when will Team Cherry HollowKnight-Successor published, there is no official information since 2019. Although the voice actress of heroine Hornet recently confirmed that her work is finished, this does not give any indication of a timely release.

But that’s how it is for us, and as we can see from the comments again and again, you too, the main thing is that Silksong appears in a great and finished condition. So we continue to wait patiently and maybe discover one or two funny digs at Silksong in other games.
