It has been an exciting few days for fans of Hollow Knight, as Silksong has recently been given an official page on Xbox (which is incredibly significant for the fan community). Additionally, it has received an age rating in South Korea, indicating a potential release date in the near future.
It would be great if the game’s official rating was also 100% accurate. However, it has not yet been officially rated. Despite reliable sources like Wario64 reporting the news, this was a case of unintentional misinformation spreading rapidly once again. Let’s uncover the truth behind this situation.

Despite Wario64’s reputation for not sharing unsubstantiated rumors, or at least labeling them as “not confirmed,”the information was quickly accepted as reliable and shared on X (formerly Twitter). Upon initial inspection, there was nothing remarkable about the information, so it would be unfair to criticize Wario64. Additionally, the official South Korea game ratings site also supports the claims, further strengthening their validity.
When you click on the link featured in the post, you will be directed to the Self Rate Game Statistics section, as indicated by the link.

However, they later disproved their own post upon realizing their mistake. Unfortunately, the information had already spread before they could correct it. This is not surprising, considering the site’s official status.
Despite the user’s additional posts and comments mentioning ways to locate unrated titles in the Self Rate section, such as GTA VI, it became clear that this was not a reliable source. However, the harm had already been done. It should be noted that Hollow Knight: Silksong has not yet received a rating, making this sudden Self Rate seem unusual. It may be best not to anticipate any updates in the near future.
Despite the possibility that this is just wishful thinking, it is worth noting that games are typically released shortly after receiving an official rating or having a release date announced. With many announcements still yet to be made this year, it is not entirely impossible that Silksong may receive some concrete news in the near future. The Xbox page currently displays an ESRB 10+ Rating, which aligns with the rumored Korean rating.
Despite hearing last year that the game would be released, for now, it’s still business as usual in the Circus. The small group of rational Silksong fans who remain have reached a point where they have nothing left to lose. They have fully embraced their clown attire and are desperately in need of assistance.
