Fans eagerly anticipating the sequel to the popular game Hollow Knight, known for its blend of Metroidvania and Souls-like elements, have been eagerly awaiting news about Hollow Knight: Silksong. Updates on its release have been scarce, but there are finally some promising signs emerging. 

Recently, a rating for the game was unearthed, hinting that we might be nearing a release or at least an announcement. Let's delve into what we know about the game so far and how this newfound rating suggests that Hollow Knight: Silksong could be on its way soon.

Hollow Knight Silksong Has Been Rated in Australia And Could Be Releasing Soon

A few days back, the pop-culture journalist website Comicbook.com stumbled upon leaked intel revealing that the much-anticipated sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, had received an official rating in Australia, the homeland of the game's developers, Team Cherry. This rating, unveiled on the country's classification website, categorizes Hollow Knight: Silksong as "PG" due to its mild violence.

While the classification website doesn't offer a precise release date for the game, this development suggests that its launch might be closer than we think. Moreover, the game also obtained an official rating in South Korea and briefly appeared on Xbox digital storefronts. These occurrences hint that development is likely nearing completion, paving the way for a potential release date announcement.

However, it's essential to approach this news with cautious optimism. Despite these promising signs, it's worth remembering that Hollow Knight: Silksong has been in development for five years, indicating that the developers are prioritizing polish and quality over haste.

This cautious approach is understandable, especially considering the enormous success of the original Hollow Knight. With such high expectations for the sequel, the developers are undoubtedly striving for perfection before unleashing it upon eager fans. While these ratings suggest that the game's arrival may be imminent, all that remains for players is to wait patiently for the highly anticipated release of Silksong.
