Hollow Knight sequel announced for PC and Nintendo Switch
Hollow Knight developer, Team Cherry, has announced a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight called Hollow Knight: Silksong.
"Almost from the very start, Hornet’s adventure was intended to take place in a new land, but as we dove in, it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned. We do know that makes the wait a little longer, but we think the final, fresh world you’ll get to explore is worth it," Team Cherry's post reads.
The game will be releasing on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch at launch. Team Cherry said that more platforms may be added in the future.

God of War Wins Game of the Year at DICE Awards
God of War dominated at this year’s 22nd annual DICE Awards, held by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences tonight in Las Vegas.
God of War not only received the coveted Game of the Year award, it went home with a whopping nine awards out of 23 categories, including Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction, Game Design, Story, Original Music Composition and more. In comparison, 2018’s Game of the Year, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, took home four awards.
The only other multi-award winner this year was the indie-darling Celeste, which went home with the Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game and Action Game of the Year awards.
Nintendo Has a Strong 2019 Lineup, But Doesn’t Want to Show It All Just Yet
Nintendo’s first Direct of 2019 opened and closed with two previously unannounced first party games — Super Mario Maker 2 and a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Both are Switch exclusives set for a 2019 launch, and yet, as terrible as it is to be ungrateful for what we did get, it’s easy to slip into the “why didn’t they show X?” state of mind.
And while many of the already announced 2019 exclusives didn’t receive a spotlight at this Direct, it’s not really a cause for concern. In fact, Nintendo holding back some of its heavy hitters shows the company has learned from its mistakes, and taken as a whole, has responded to the criticisms of Switch experiencing a lighter second year than its launch year.
All of the News, Trailers, and Gameplay From Today’s Nintendo Direct
Nintendo’s first Direct of 2019 was jam packed — 31 games in about 35 minutes.
That is a lot to cover, so let’s dive into everything discussed in today’s Direct.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake Is Happening This Year
While Nintendo’s Direct didn’t cover many of the biggest 2019 games we already know about — Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Luigi’s Mansion 3 — it did debut a surprising new addition to 2019’s lineup.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake ended the Direct with a bang of lightning, showcasing the new art style, Nintendo’s efforts to recapture the gameplay of the original, and enough teases to make IGN’s Brian Altano very, very happy.
Why Frozen 2’s New Character Isn’t Who People Think
Frozen 2’s new trailer is here, and everyone is asking: Who’s that girl?
There’s not one but two new characters introduced in the two-minute teaser. And while the Internet seems to hope that mysterious lady is Elsa’s girlfriend, we have a different theory. Make sure to read the full article for our breakdown of why we think this character is actually Elsa's mother.
Ever since Frozen was released, fans have been asking for Elsa to have a female love interest, the most prominent being the #MakeElsaGay movement spurred on by the coming out themes in Elsa's story throughout the first movie.
Star Trek Animated Series Reportedly Coming to Nickelodeon
The popular Nickelodeon network is reportedly near a deal for an animated Star Trek series from Star Trek Executive Producer, Alex Kurtzman, according to THR.
The animated show is meant to be kid-friendly and will target younger viewers. It will be written by Emmy-winning writers Kevin Hageman and Dan Hageman, known for Trollhunters, The LEGO movie, and Ninjago.
The series will mark the first ever Star Trek series to be at a network outside of NBC, besides Star Trek: Discovery and the announcement last year of the new animated comedy series, Star Trek: Lower Decks, being picked up by CBS All Access and premiering on their streaming platform.
Falcon Age Is Much More Than Just a Bird Fistbump Sim
You’ve probably seen the Falcon Age tweets. It looks like a PSVR game, there’s a baby bird, and it’s doing a fist bump. Or putting on a little hat. Sometimes it’s an adult bird, which would look a lot less cute, except for the fact that it’s putting on a little hat too.
Having played around an hour of the game at DICE this week, I can attest that all of this is in the game, and all of it is as excellent as those gifs promised. There’s just a lot more to Falcon Age than that.
