New Hollow Knight: Silksong Age Rating Fuels More Speculation

First there was an Xbox Store page, and now there is an age rating; might Hollow Knight: Silksong finally be about ready to release? Speculation concerning Team Cherry's PS5 and PS4 sequel is widespread right now, and a newly uncovered South Korean age rating has only fuelled online chatter. Interestingly, the age rating was actually registered in February, but the rating has only been brought to life now as fans dig deep for any fresh shred of information.

The follow-up received a 12+ rating, spotted by ResetEra user Eroke. Kickstarted by a new Xbox Store wishlist page, the game has been up on the PS Store for some time now — alongside Nintendo Switch and Steam — but speculation really got into gear as Microsoft executives like Sarah Bond promoted the addition on social media.

Given the anticipation surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong, it's more than big enough to occupy a slot in the platform holder's biggest livestreams, like a PlayStation Showcase. With a day one Xbox Game Pass release backing it, though, we may need to wait for Microsoft's showcase in June for some proper information concerning new details and a release date. The game doesn't have any official launch window after it was delayed out of 2023.

There's always the possibility of Team Cherry simply publishing a new trailer at any point given June is still two months out, but the biggest stage for Hollow Knight: Silksong seems appropriate at this point. When do you think we see the PS5, PS4 game next? Let us know in the comments below.
