Update []:
It was inevitable, wasn’t it? You’ve waited seven years for Hollow Knight: Silksong, so what’s another 30 minutes or so? The big sequel from Team Cherry was supposed to go live at 3pm BST today, but as the time has been and gone, every storefront the game is supposed to launch on has been brought to its knees.
Now, when you search for the game on the PS Store, nothing appears. There was a wishlist page, but that’s gone now.
Steam is breaking for PC players, you can’t buy it on Xbox, and the Nintendo eShop page is displaying an error when you try to button through.
Original Story: The moment that Hollow Knight fans have waited more than half a decade for has finally, finally arrived: its huge follow-up Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now across all major platforms, including PS5 and PS4.
You can start downloading the sequel now, with the title priced at £19.99 / €19.99 / $19.99. Absolutely no review code has been distributed for Hollow Knight: Silksong, so we’ll be playing alongside all of you. While we absolutely do wish to deliver a timely verdict on the game, we won’t be rushing our way through the sequel.
As the lethal hunter Hornet, adventure through a kingdom ruled by silk and song! Captured and taken to this unfamiliar world, prepare to battle mighty foes and solve ancient mysteries as you ascend on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced seven years ago, originally as a DLC for the first game, which then expanded into a full sequel. There have been so many years of silence since then, and repeated questioning around whether the project would ever see the light of day, but now it’s a reality. Our sister site Nintendo Life can bring you up to speed on the events:
