Over onSteam, Hollow Knight: Silksong’s page has received another new update. According toSteamDB, at 3:44 am UTC on June 3, Silksong received a new “depot” that added the billing type “store or CD Key”. This heavily implies that the game is now being readied for purchase.
Given the proximity to Summer Game Fest, the Hollow Knight: Silksong community, who areusually totally calm and collected, are in hysterics.
“GEOFF. GEOFF ARE YOU GONNA SHADOW DROP. GEOFFREY LISTEN,” said appleappleappleman onReddit. LittleGoblinBoyadded, “In a way, I’m going to be a little sad when this game finally releases. The endless waiting for Silksong has been with me so long that it feels familiar, comforting. Like an old friend, we must finally part ways soon.”
In a way, I’m going to be a little sad when this game finally releases.
The release of Silksong will mark the end of an era. The wait for one of gaming’s most anticipated titles has spawned a rabid community that has simultaneously supported and goaded each other for the last six years. A quick look at the Hollow Knight: Silksongsubredditon any given day will bless you with fans tricking each other into thinking there has been news about the game, and consoling each other when they realize there hasn’t.
It looks like that will all be coming to an end soon, and maybe it’s for the best. We’re in the endgame now.
