Hollow Knight Silksong Reviews Probably Aren't Going To Be Ready For Launch

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Metroidvania game, is set to launch in just two weeks. However, according to a report by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, the developer, Team Cherry, has decided not to send out preview codes to media outlets before the game's release. The primary reason for this decision is to ensure that Kickstarter backers and other players have the opportunity to experience the game before critics. Additionally, Schreier speculates that the small size of Team Cherry may make it logistically challenging to distribute codes widely. Silksong promises significant improvements over the original Hollow Knight, including over 150 new enemies, new combat tools, crafting mechanics, and a faster-paced, acrobatic style of combat. The game will be available on all major platforms, including Game Pass, on September 4. While players won't be able to read any reviews before launch, they can check out the hands-on preview from Gamescom to get a glimpse of what to expect from Hollow Knight: Silksong.
