Incredible Indie Game Powerhouse: Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong Set to Take 2024 by Storm!

Highlights

2023 has been a strong year for video games with releases like Dead Space and Resident Evil 4 remakes, Hogwarts Legacy, and Final Fantasy 16.

Hades 2 is scheduled for an Early Access release in Q2 2024. If Hollow Knight: Silksong is released around the same time, it could contribute to making 2024 an equally remarkable year for indie game releases. Apart from eagerly anticipating Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades 2, fans can also enjoy other fantastic indie and AA games like Blasphemous 2 and Pizza Tower.

2023 has seen a remarkable year for video games, with a wide range of impressive titles across various genres. Fans have been delighted by the release of notable horror games such as the remakes of Dead Space and Resident Evil 4. Adventure enthusiasts have been captivated by games like Hogwarts Legacy and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. RPG lovers, on the other hand, have been spoiled with releases such as Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, and Final Fantasy 16. Each month has brought with it a new hit game to enjoy. Indie games have also left their mark, although Hollow Knight: Silksong unfortunately did not make the cut this time. Since its announcement in February 2019, fans have eagerly anticipated its release, making it a highly sought-after title.

However, there are still plenty of other excellent indie and AA games to keep players engaged in the meantime. For Hollow Knight fans, Blasphemous 2 offers a great metroidvania experience to satisfy their cravings. Those seeking twitch action platforming can turn to games like Pizza Tower and Pseudoregalia for their fix. The realm of Soulslikes has also seen some noteworthy recent releases, such as Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen. Furthermore, there are more exciting big indie games on the horizon before Silksong is expected to launch. A highly anticipated indie sequel is scheduled for PC Early Access in Q2 2024, potentially setting the stage for another fantastic year of indie releases if Hollow Knight: Silksong accompanies it.

Hades 2 Should Be A Stellar Mid-2024 Release

Supergiant Games, known for its popular releases Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre, achieved great success with the release of Hades in 2018. Initially exclusive to the Epic Games Store, Hades later became available on Steam in 2019 and expanded to consoles in 2020. With its captivating combat, engaging characters, stunning visuals, and unique blend of progression and storytelling, Hades proved to be a major hit, setting the stage for a highly anticipated sequel.

Although it has been some time since the first trailer, Supergiant Games has announced that Hades 2 will launch in Early Access on Steam and EGS during Q2 of 2024. This means players can expect the game to arrive sometime in April, May, or June, offering enough content to provide an immersive gaming experience. While the development process will take some time to complete, if all goes well, Hades 2 is poised to receive similar acclaim as its predecessor.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Could Make 2024 A Year To Remember

2024 may see a few indie games, but none seem to surpass the Early Access release of Hades 2. However, Hollow Knight: Silksong has garnered significant attention from the Hollow Knight community and is expected to achieve success once it is completed. Although there is no set release date for Silksong, testers from Team Cherry have expressed satisfaction with the progress, suggesting it will be a worthy sequel. As fans eagerly anticipate updates from major gaming showcases, Silksong is sure to gain widespread recognition upon its release. Considering its prolonged development period and the glimpses provided in trailers and screenshots, it is not unlikely that the game could debut in 2024. With the abundance of exceptional game releases in recent years, the simultaneous arrival of Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong would present indie fans with a delightful dilemma, akin to what many gamers experienced in 2023. The game industry is currently enjoying a string of impressive releases, and maintaining this streak for another year would be a significant accomplishment.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
