The Microsoft Store has added a Hollow Knight Silksong page, but the long-awaited game’s placeholder release date has fans reeling.
The long wait forHollow Knight Silksongcontinues and, if the game’s Microsoft Store page is to be believed, fans will have to wait much, much longer.
Asspotted by fans, Silksong has received apageon the Microsoft Store, which would normally be a positive sign that a game is gearing up for release. However, the listed release date – December 29, 9998 – has fans wondering if they’ll ever get to play the Metroidvania sequel.

“Literally silksong fans have t find the answer for immortality t play this game,”saidone Twitter user.
Others jokingly celebrated the news, with onecommenting“Only 7974 years left, let’s gooooo.”
Obviously, the 9998 release year is a mistake, likely the result of a bug or some placeholder text, and Hollow Knight Silksong remains without a release date or window.
There have been some reasons for fans to get their hopes up. Silksong received age ratings in Australia and South Korea earlier this year, and it received anXbox Store pagewhere users can wishlist it last month. While the developers have remained pretty quiet, Hollow Knight Silksong news being announced in the coming months seems increasingly likely – and fansprobablywon’t have to wait 8,000 years for it.
