Hollow Knight: Silksong is the GTA6 of the indie games world. It's the megaton game that every other game wants to dodge. But sometimes publishers just can't change their release dates. We put together a list of some of the other games releasing today to check out if Silksong isn't your jam (or you just like being contrarian), as well as a few of the anticipated games that scooted out of the way of Hornet and her deadly needle.

Silksong was first announced in 2019, and after sporadic details and development promises, the DLC-turned-full-release was given a formal release date just two weeks ago - causing mayhem like the movie for other game releases. The indie game sequel follows Hornet, a former princess introduced in the first game, as she explores the new land of Pharloom with similar fighting mechanics to the original game, as well as the newly added quests.

After six years of waiting, Team Cherry's long awaited Hollow Knight sequel, Silksong, launched globally today at 10 am eastern. Unfortunately, fans may have to wait a little longer to play the action-adventure game. Online retailers such as the Xbox and PlayStation stores, Steam, and Nintendo eShop, are rife with loading screens and error messages as people rush to buy it.

While Team Cherry could have charged more for Silksong, it's essentially pricing it the same as the original when you factor in inflation over the past eight years. The team revealed seven years ago that it kept the Hollow Knight pricing low to ensure as many people played it as possible. "$15 US is actually quite a bit of money for many people, especially in other countries than the US,"

The most interesting thing now is that we can add to it next. We've got a plan. Admittedly, some of the plans for that stuff are kind of ambitious as well, but hopefully we can achieve some of it.

Silksong's development has been a long and winding journey. Originally conceived as DLC for the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight back in 2019, the project quickly grew in scope as Team Cherry expanded its world, mechanics, and protagonist, Hornet. What started as an expansion spiralled into a full-blown sequel, with the small Australian studio repeatedly stating they didn't want to release the game until it met their exacting standards.
