At long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has some new footage and a release date–just two weeks away–but any official ratings from critics might take a bit longer.
Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier posted on his Bluesky account that developer Team Cherry has opted not to send out preview codes to media outlets before launch. That’s at least in part due to wanting to ensure reviewers aren’t playing before those who backed the original game on Kickstarter.
„In case you’re wondering: Team Cherry told me they don’t plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it’d be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don’t expect to see reviews until after the game comes out,“ Schreier wrote.
