Release Date Announced for Silksong
The standalone sequel to Hollow Knight, titled Silksong, is set to be released on September 4th, after seven years in development. This announcement comes as a relief to many fans of the original game who have been eagerly anticipating its sequel. Additionally, 2025 is expected to feature the release of several long-anticipated games.
Unlike some other titles that have faced significant challenges during development, such as Routine and Metroid Prime 4, Silksong was developed by a small team at Team Cherry, which allowed them to progress at a steady pace. Co-founder Ari Gibson stated that the project was never stalled, noting that game development takes time, especially for smaller teams.
In contrast, Grand Theft Auto VI, which was initially expected to launch in 2025, has been delayed to May 26th, 2026. This title has generated considerable interest following the release of its first trailer in late 2023, a decade after Grand Theft Auto V debuted.
Despite the delay of major titles like Grand Theft Auto VI, 2025 is shaping up to be a notable year for game releases, which may offer a satisfying experience for dedicated gamers. Additionally, the latest chapters of Deltarune are also highly anticipated. Looking ahead, questions remain about the status of various other projects, including the potential sequel to Beyond Good & Evil, the future of Haunted Chocolatier, and the remake of Knights of the Old Republic. There is uncertainty surrounding the timelines for Elder Scrolls and Half-Life 3 as well. Interpretations of these games’ developments will likely continue to hold the attention of enthusiasts into 2026.
