Hollow Knight: Silksong
,
The Elder Scrolls 6
, Half-Life 3 and, naturally, my personal Holy Grail, Viva Pinata 3. These communities are bound together by their collective experience of enduring an unusually long wait for sequels to their beloved games.
So, the so-called Silksongers achieved a spiritual triumph today.
Today’s official announcement
That the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been pushed back to May 2026 increases the likelihood that Silksong might come out before Rockstar’s anticipated blockbuster game.
Spiritual Victory
Multiple posts have emerged on the Silksong subreddit, all of them rejoicing over this alleged triumph. One user states, “We will get Silksong before GTA 6.”

“Scared to Be a Rockstar,” reads the headline

The post suggests that GTA 6 was pushed back to prevent a conflict with the release of Silksong.
It’s challenging to determine if Hollow Knight enthusiasts in 2017 anticipated a follow-up before Grand Theft Auto 6 was announced, yet they seem destined for success regardless. Getting Silksong ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6 has become the battle cry for Hollow Knight followers worldwide, who also look forward to The Elder Scrolls 6 and Half-Life 3 with similar enthusiasm.
Similar to Rockstar, Team Cherry has gained recognition for postponing their release dates. Despite an announcement made earlier this year by Matt Griffin, who serves as a marketing and publishing rep at Team Cherry, stating that Silksong is scheduled for release within this year, many of the game’s enthusiasts remain doubtful.
Recently, an Australian museum declared that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be
playable at their exhibit
On September 18, indicating that Silksong should be released by then. While it’s not an official commitment, it’s definitely encouraging that Team Cherry has set this particular release date with the museum.
Prior to today’s announcement, the lack of information about Grand Theft Auto 6 implied that its release was growing increasingly unlikely with each passing day. In contrast, Silksong is showing more indications that its launch could still happen this year.
