Last year, during GamesRadar+'s Big In 2023 feature series, I predicted Hollow Knight: Silksong would launch at some point in the year ahead. With the headline 'Hollow Knight Silksong will probably release this year – and that's all the hype it needs', I argued that the mere prospect of getting our hands on the next slice of Team Cherry's long-awaited Metroidvania was worth more than trailers, teasers or, you know, any official communication that we could pour over or speculate upon.
Clearly, I missed the mark. 2023 has been and gone and we're pretty much none the wiser with regards to, well, just about anything pertaining to Hornet's starring role in the kingdom of Pharloom. To say we've had little since Silksong's gameplay reveal at E3 2022 is an understatement, with the last substantial update dev-side coming via this social media post on May 10 last year, declaring the once proposed "first half of 2023" release window wasn't happening.
