Australian and US age ratings suggest Hollow Knight: Silksong is almost ready for release. Team Cherry's completion of the game is implied by the recent certifications from different countries. Fans can expect the long-awaited sequel to potentially release within the coming months.

A release date for Hollow Night: Silksong may finally be on its way.

This even prompted its developers, Team Cherry, to reassure fans that the game was still in production after delays and an already lengthy development. Recently, things seem to be picking up speed, however, as a Microsoft Store page appeared for the game, and now, yet another country has rated the game.

When it comes to any industry, it is very difficult to avoid controversy and please everyone, and the developers behind Stellar Blade and Hogwarts Legacy know this all too well. Back when Hogwarts Legacy was originally released over 2 years ago, it was met with a lot of controversy due to its connection to J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series, but it isn’t the only title to receive controversy over recent years.

The B Noir festival is a hit! It's always a delight to hear about retrospective programming doing well. There are still people out there interested in and trying out old movies in theaters. Or maybe the San Francisco noir crowd is just that strong. I'd written about "I Wake Up Dreaming" a couple of weeks back (read it here); I have since went and saw some of the movies they're playing.

If you're in the Bay Area and you haven't spared the time, there's good news. The festival was supposed to end this Thursday, but I have just been informed that since it is selling out so well, they've decided to add another week of showings!

The list of extra screenings is at the bottom, but before that, I want to recommend trying to get to this Friday's showing of The Devil Thumbs a Ride, which I managed to catch on the fest's opening night.
