The wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong, the eagerly awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed metroidvania masterpiece, has taken an exciting turn. Fans have been scouring the internet for any morsel of information regarding the game’s release, and a recent discovery has only fueled the anticipation further.
In a development that has sent ripples through the gaming community, Hollow Knight: Silksong has been officially age-rated in South Korea, receiving a 12+ classification. While the rating itself was registered back in February, it has only now come to light, thanks to the tireless efforts of dedicated fans.
This age rating revelation comes hot on the heels of another significant milestone – the game’s appearance on the Xbox Store, where it has been made available for wishlisting. The addition was even promoted by Microsoft executives, including Sarah Bond, who reminded players of the game’s day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass.

These recent developments have ignited a frenzy of speculation among fans, who have been eagerly awaiting any concrete news about the game’s release date. With Team Cherry, the developers behind the Hollow Knight series, remaining tight-lipped on the matter, every breadcrumb of information is being meticulously analyzed and dissected by the community.
“The age rating and the Xbox Store listing are certainly promising signs,” says gaming analyst Emily Thompson. “It suggests that the development team is making significant progress and that a release date announcement could be imminent.”
While the exact launch window for Hollow Knight: Silksong remains shrouded in mystery, fans are hopeful that the game will make an appearance at one of the major gaming showcases in the coming months. With the highly anticipated PlayStation Showcase on the horizon, as well as Microsoft’s own event in June, there is a possibility that Team Cherry may seize the opportunity to unveil the long-awaited release details.
Hollow Knight: Silksong promises to bring players back into the captivating world of Hallownest, this time through the eyes of Hornet, the “princess-protector.” With over 150 different enemies, a brand-new kingdom to explore, and the tantalizing prospect of a Silk Soul mode – a challenging new difficulty setting – the anticipation for this sequel is at an all-time high.
As the gaming community holds its collective breath, one thing is certain: the age rating and the Xbox Store listing have reignited the flames of speculation, and fans are more eager than ever to embark on the next chapter of the Hollow Knight saga.
