Arguably one of the most eye-catching things to come from the annual minefield that is April Fools' Day wasHollow Knight Silksong’sbrand new page on the Xbox Store.
Thestore pageitself is fairly unremarkable, containing no new information outside of an age rating that hadn’t previously been confirmed. It’s also quite bare bones, featuring just a brief product description and a handful of screenshots that we’ve seen before.
What is notable, though, is that the existence ofHollow Knight Silksong’snew Xbox store page is indeed real, and is still live today after April Fools' Day, as Xbox product marketing manager Tao Sila points out onX / Twitter.
No this isn’t an April Fools Joke. The #HollowKnightSilksong Wishlist page really is up on Xbox https://t.co/cjL1X3M4ZgApril 1, 2024
Should we get our hopes up?
Now, as mentioned, there is one new bit of information on this store page, that beingHollow Knight Silksong’sage rating of E10+ / PEGI 7. This is, however, nothing too groundbreaking, as it’s the exact same age rating that was awarded to the originalHollow Knightback in 2017.
But an age rating usually means that a game isn’t too far from release, right? Well, not necessarily. AsGamesRadarpoints out, an entry forHollow Knight Silksonghas yet to appear on the ESRB’s official website, suggesting that any age rating has yet to be finalized.
To further dampen your spirits, store pages forHollow Knight Silksongaren’t anything new. You can head over toSteam, the PlayStation Store or indeed the Nintendo Switch eShop to find listings for the game; they’ve just yet to be updated with the game’s tentative age rating.
So, isHollow Knight Silksongapproaching its fabled release or is this just a bit of housekeeping on developer Team Cherry’s part to ensure the product is visible on all supported storefronts? It’s most likely the latter, but hey, any rumblings about one of the most anticipatedupcoming gamesis welcome in my book.
