Could Hollow Knight Silksong be the spooky season treat we’ve all been waiting for since 2019? Team Cherry’s long-awaited Metroidvania has been in the works for some fives years now, and despite the long wait, fans are running on little more than crumbs when it comes to intel. In fact, one of the most concrete facts we know about Hollow Knight Silksong is that it will be on Xbox Game Pass on day one.Seven years since the first game launched, and despite the developer keeping things under wraps, the hype around Hollow Knight: Silksong seems to just keep growing – even though we have precious little confirmed. The long wait has made some fans antsy, getting the clown facepaint on at the drop of a hat after a hidden Hollow Knight Silksong update on its Steam page made hopeful hearts soar earlier this year. A 2023 controversy surrounding engine Unity’s intended pay-per-download business model had made other Hollow Knight fans panic, with speculations that an engine swap could incur further delays on top of Silksong’s initial postponement that pushed its launch date from early last year to sometime in the as-yet unknown future. Frustrating though the lack of information is, Team Cherry has reassured its restless players that Silksong is still very much in the works. Sounds like we will just have to keep being patient. And the wait will hopefully be worth it. Hollow Knight Silksong stills ranks high on our list of new games of 2024, with or without a firm release date. If you’re itching for more, here’s everything you need to know about Hollow Knight: Silksong’s delays, gameplay, and other news.Recent updatesThis Hollow Knight: Silksong hub was updated on September 25.

Will Hollow Knight: Silksong be on PS4 or PS5?Ever since Team Cherry announced this sequel back in 2019, PlayStation owners have been left asking the same question: Will Hollow Knight Silksong be on PS4 and PS5? And for the longest time it looked uncertain, especially after Xbox owners learned that the game would be coming to Xbox Game Pass. Thankfully, PlayStation has since cleared up any confusion. The platform holder took to Twitter to confirm that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PS5 and PS4.

Have you ever wondered what a survival roguelike dungeon-crawler would look like if you were the hungry demon rather than being hunted by one? Abyss Ring does one better than that: it gives you the chance to turn the tables on the beasties by eating them up instead.Part unpolished medieval fantasy in the vein of Skyrim, part cooking sim, and part Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, Abyss Ring is an upcoming survival adventure that locks the player in claustrophobic dungeons filled to the brim with enemies to kill, cook, and eat up. Basically, it’s a literal buffet for those with an iron stomach to match their nerves of steel.

InZOI is difficult to ignore right now. This new simulation game is drawing attention because of its hyper-detailed characters, world, and customization options – all of it rendered through Unreal Engine 5. But beneath the photorealistic visuals is the promise of an exceptional amount of depth, a detailed life sim that should decimate your free time. Of all the games like The Sims which have come and gone in recent years, InZoi is perhaps the most impressive – at least since Life By You was unexpectedly cancelled by Paradox Interactive. So there’s a lot of pressure on InZOI developer Krafton to deliver for this upcoming PC game, but we have faith the PUBG publisher can deliver. So while we wait for more InZOI news and a firm release date, keep reading to get caught up with everything we know so far. inZOI release date speculation Developer Krafton is targeting a “late 2024” InZOI release date. The upcoming simulation game is expected to land into Steam earl…
It isn’t the best thing I’ve ever written, but I have fond memories of my Code Vein review because it helped me officially codify the kind of anime action RPG junk food that I find irresistible. See also: Crymachina. Code Vein isn’t a great game, but I liked it a lot, and I’m getting exactly the same vibes from the Steam Next Fest demo for AI Limit, an upcoming Soulslike action RPG set in a sci-fi post-apocalypse. The demo is on PS5, too.By active players, AI Limit’s Steam demo is currently the most popular Soulslike in the whole event – I’m excluding Windblown, the new roguelike from the Dead Cells devs, because it’s not a Soulslike despite what Steam tags would say – and I can see why. This is what I like to call Another One of These. From the red-and-gray tutorial enemies to the stat sheet to the soft-spoken female lead who wakes up in a puddle dressed mostly in rags, I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve been here before. Bonfire checkpoints in dungeons with double-b…
GTA Online players have waited a long time for two things in particular: some brain-munching zombies to fight and an official return to GTA 5’s starting area. Now that both promises have been fulfilled in the new Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode, which came out on October 10, hundreds of thousands of players are flooding in. Rockstar Games announced the new mode last week, confirming that players would finally be able to return to North Yankton, which you might remember as the snow-covered town from GTA 5’s opening where Trevor and Michael rob a bank, murder a few policemen, and ruin their relationship for years.GTA Online players weren’t actually able to explore the location without brute forcing their way in via glitches for years, since it’s somewhat disconnected from the open-world game’s main landmass, so this marks the first time people can freely go to North Yankton without the hassle. North Yankton plus zombies seems to have been a big enough deal for a whopping 400,…
Starfield: Shattered Space might not be the major rework or upgrade to the base game that longtime Bethesda fans were hoping for, but it certainly feels like a step in the right direction. Mind you, the powers that be at Bethesda Game Studios still believe the game is one of its very best, so expecting it to ever move closer to Fallout or The Elder Scrolls (and their DNA) is silly. But what does this all mean for The Elder Scrolls 6?Personally, I think it’s still far too early to predict how the sixth mainline Elder Scrolls will look and behave. We’re looking at a late 2026 release at the earliest, and with Bethesda’s latest now doubling down on polish and extra features – all while the modding sickos do their thing – it’s gonna be a while before attention is shifted towards our long-awaited single-player return to Tamriel. We can, however, infer a thing or two from Shattered Space’s more traditional bits, which were already present throughout the main game but feel much mo…
A player new to The Witcher 3 met his fate for the very first time in the most inglorious way ever – he was kicked directly in the head by his horse while fighting ghouls.The CD Projekt Red game can be notoriously punishing, but it’s not always an enemy killing players – sometimes, it’s their horse. This was the case in user LDoubleU’s first real run of the RPG, during his first real fight. As highlighted in a recent post of his alongside a video of the unfortunate event, the new player’s “first death in The Witcher 3 was an embarrassing one” – in fact, it’s one I didn’t know was possible as a longtime fan myself.While facing off against ghouls at the beginning of the game, LDoubleU jumps outside of the fray momentarily – only to be met by his horse’s hooves. After taking the stallion’s swift kick to the skull, he falls to his death and that’s that. The comments underneath the hilarious clip are almost as amusing as the footage itself, too. “Legendary permadeath run,” reads one such re…
Datamined Destiny 2 files seemingly hint that pre-orders for Marathon, Bungie’s next shooter, are coming sooner than you might expect.Bungie announced that it was rebooting Marathon, the ’90s series that predates even Halo, last summer, and it’s been very tight-lipped about the extraction shooter ever since aside from a secret trailer that confirmed we wouldn’t hear anything else for a really long time. Prophecy fulfilled, I guess.But Destiny 2’s new update reportedly features clues about what to expect next. Dataminers began digging through Destiny 2’s innards recently for hints about what’s coming up in the evergreen looter shooter – though what they instead found was what’s next for the studio. The Game Post reports that a text string called ‘v820.offers.entitlement.d2.marathon.preorder’ was datamined, obviously spurring speculation. Bungie apparently names all Destiny 2 updates with version numbers. For example, The Final Shape’s files are numbered v800, while the ongoing Epis…
Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe remains one of the most mysterious projects currently in development at Ubisoft. Unveiled two years ago as part of a wider celebration of the long-running series, it’s the latest undertaking from Ubisoft Montreal – the creators of Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs. The studio promises that Assassin’s Creed Hexe will be a “very different” type of game, with the first teaser offering up exceptionally witchy vibes to match. Of all the upcoming Assassin’s Creed games currently in production, it’s Codename Hexe that we’re desperate for more information on. Particularly as the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Assassin’s Creed Infinity were recently delayed into 2025 – I don’t know about you, but I need my historical fantasy fix! Still, that does mean that there’s a whole host of new Ubisoft games to come for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. So while we wait for more information, keep on reading to find everything we know so far a…
