September’s Release Lineup May Be Stacked, But Hollow…

The wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has reached a historic end, as developer Team Cherry's long-awaited sequel is finally out in the world. Not only did Hollow Knight: Silksong generate years of hype and glorious internet memes, its release yesterday even crashed online storefronts for Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Silksong has been out for a full day now, and its launch has kicked off the month of September in a big way. That's a hard feat to achieve, since this month is absolutely stacked with major releases. September is set to debut a diverse offering of major games, but Silksong has one major benefit over the majority of the competition: its price.

Team Cherry is Sticking to its Indie Roots

Hollow Knight: Silksong only costs $20 USD.

When the release date for Silksong was announced a few weeks ago at Gamescom, one of the biggest mysteries was the game's price. Just a few days before launch, Team Cherry confirmed that Silksong would cost a humble $20, making it not only a thrilling release, but a great deal, too. Silksong's internet-breaking launch is a testament to the hold it has on the industry, and its small price point is just the cherry on top of a release that was bound to generate plenty of sales anyway. September boasts a daunting number of options, and for some gamers who have been trying to decide which titles to buy, Silksong's price makes the decision a lot easier.

Hell is Us - September 4
Cronos: The New Dawn - September 5
Borderlands 4 - September 12
Dying Light: The Beast - September 19
Silent Hill f - September 25

This year's September lineup is no joke, and it's frankly overwhelming. For most gamers, checking every release out in a single month is not going to be possible, so some are going to be forced to pick and choose. With a price as low as Silksong, though, it makes the long-awaited Metroidvania seem like a clear first choice to add to one's shopping cart.

Of course, Silksong won't be for everyone, but it's still one of the top releases on the calendar. So, for those who are having trouble deciding on which games to purchase this month, Silksong is definitely the biggest bang for one's buck.
