Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most talked-about games ever. Gamers are eagerly waiting for any news, especially a new trailer.
Rockstar Games, the studio behind GTA 6, has a strong reputation for creating blockbuster hits like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, which broke records and sold millions of copies. With so much hype, fans expect GTA 6 to be even bigger.
The excitement is obvious. Even though Rockstar has told fans to lower their expectations, GTA 6 feels almost unbeatable.
If Rockstar delivers as expected, GTA 6 is set to win tons of awards, receive high praise from critics, and make a lot of money.
However, there’s one game that could give GTA 6 some serious competition – Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Could Hollow Knight: Silksong Steal the Spotlight from GTA 6?
Hollow Knight: Silksong is another game fans are eagerly waiting for. It’s currently the most wishlisted game on Steam, even ahead of big titles like Monster Hunter Wilds, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Heart of Chernobyl, and Space Marine 2.
With GTA 6 expected to be released in 2025, many think it will sweep the Game of the Year awards. But if Silksong drops in the same year, things could get interesting.
Silksong was initially planned for an early 2023 release, but it got delayed with no clear release date.
Despite the delay, fans are still excited, and during every Nintendo Direct event, the live chat is filled with people hoping for a Silksong announcement.
If Silksong is released in 2025, it could become one of the best-selling games of the year, giving GTA 6 tough competition.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Could Win Game of the Year Over GTA 6
There’s a real possibility that Silksong could challenge GTA 6 for the Game of the Year title in 2025.
Even though Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 was a huge success, it lost Game of the Year to God of War in 2018. If Silksong lives up to its hype, it might win the top award and beat GTA 6.
Interestingly, the original Hollow Knight didn’t win Game of the Year when it was released in 2017, losing to Breath of the Wild. But it was nominated for Best Debut Indie Game, although it lost to Cuphead.
Both GTA 6 and Hollow Knight: Silksong will likely do extremely well, regardless of whether they launch in the same year.
It’s almost certain that GTA 6 will sell millions of copies, just like GTA 5 did. Meanwhile, Silksong has a dedicated fanbase, and it’s sure to be a success too.
While both games have different styles and target audiences, they’re likely to dominate the gaming world when they are released.
Will 2025 Be the Year of Epic Game Releases?
If Hollow Knight: Silksong releases in 2025, it could end up being one of the most talked-about games of the year.
If GTA 6 doesn’t bring anything new to the table and sticks to Rockstar’s usual formula, Silksong could surprise everyone and take the Game of the Year crown.
Either way, if both games drop in 2025, it’s going to be an exciting year for gamers.
