Hollow Knight: Silksong <\/em>was the winner of the Best Action-Adventure title at The 2025 Game Awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2D thriller beat out Death Standing 2: On The Beach<\/em>, Ghost of Yote<\/em>i, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle<\/em>, and Split Fiction <\/em>to win the prestigious honour at the annual awards show held in Los Angeles last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Released eight years after the original installment in the series, the game had such huge hype around it that competitors delayed the release of their own titles so that their respective sales would not be affected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when the game did come out, it caused Steam and the Nintendo eShop to shut down for a few hours on the game\u2019s release day, as millions of players were rushing to install the game since there was no pre-order available for the game.<\/p>\n

Three months on from the launch of Silksong<\/em>, with great critical reviews and the prestigious honour collected, it seems that Australian-based developers Team Cherry might have somehow exceeded the incredibly high expectations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Did Hollow Knight: Silksong win any more awards at The Game Awards?<\/h2>\n

Though the game was nominated for five other categories, the Best Action-Adventure prize was the only award Team Cherry collected in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The Hollow Knight<\/em> sequel lost Best Independent Game, Best Score and Music, Best Art Direction and the much-coveted Game of the Year to Clair Obscure: Expedition 33<\/em>. The game we voted as the best game of 2025<\/a> was the big winner of the evening, winning nine of the 13 awards it was nominated for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, both Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/em> and Clair Obscure: Expedition 33<\/em> also lost the Player\u2019s Voice award \u2013 where the public votes on their Game of the Year \u2013 to Wuthering Waves<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
