Hollow Knight Silksong finally has a launch date, but the much-hyped Metroidvania likely won't get reviews until after everyone's playing.

Peak, the breakout hit from Aggro Crab and Landfall Games that has been taking the world by storm, is braced for a player count drop as the Hollow Knight: Silksong release date approaches

It’s a special time in the Silksong subreddit. After years of silence around its sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Team Cherry has scheduled a livestream with a “special announcement” about the game for August 21 at 10:30AM ET.

In case you hadn't heard the many summon circle participants crying out in joy that their prayers had finally been answered, or the klaxons sounding far and wide, let me tell you the good news - Silksong has a release date!
