THERE are plenty of highly anticipated games waiting to be released, but some are more mysterious than others.
With few updates given over the last few years, fans have been waiting eagerly for more information on a highly anticipated sequel.
A Long-Awaited Sequel
So little is still known about Silksong.
First released in 2017, Hollow Knight was an instant hit with metroidvania fans for its expansive world and challenging gameplay.
Players were eager to explore more of the world of Hollow Knight, which is why the 2019 announcement was a very welcome one.
Silksong was announced as the sequel to Hollow Knight four years ago, but fans have been waiting for it since Hollow Knight was released.
Featuring popular character Hornet as the protagonist, the gameplay will be completely fresh with this new playstyle.
However, little is still known about the long-awaited sequel, with the majority of updates simply saying that Silksong will be delayed a little longer for development.
It still has no release date or even a release window, and fans have been predicting more information coming at almost every gaming showcase.
A Small Update Sparks Excitement
Fans were excited recently when they spotted a small update to Steam that has them predicting a bigger announcement on the way.
While Silksong has only had a few asset updates, including a new thumbnail added to Steam, this is the first update it’s seen since January.
The blurb reads: "Play as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song!
"Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.
"Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow Knight, the award-winning action-adventure.
"As the lethal hunter Hornet, journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts and uncover ancient secrets tied to your nature and your past."
The latest update isn’t proof that an announcement is on the way, but fans are still holding out hope.
