Comment on 6 years and 1 prolonged delay later, Xbox is still calling "incredible" Hollow Knight: Silksong one of its "upcoming games"

  It is hard to make a sequel to the best game of all time, unless it is the new best game of all time. I’m not sure the extended dev time is the dominant issue here.

    The lack of communication from Team Cherry is the only issue, and it’s the primary thing that makes me skeptical about the game ever releasing. If they were working on the game for this long, they’d at least have enough material to give us some kind of an update. It could be as small as a blog post.

    Not to imply that they owe us that or anything. They possibly are just completely disinterested in marketing. It’s a little hard to believe given the amazing trailer that they put together years ago, but it’s still possible.

      They do kinda owe people something - at least those that contributed to the funding of the first game. Silksong was originally a 2nd playable character that was unlocked as a reward from the Kickstarter for Hollow Knight. Then it turned into a DLC, and now it’s turned into a full game.

    It doesn’t have to be the best game of all time. It just has to be at least as good as Hollow Knight.

      I just don’t see it happening at this point. I hope they prove me wrong but my intention is telling me it’ll be at most 7/10.

      Even that would be difficult for any developer.

        True, but some pretty good clones have come out since Hollow Knight, so it’s not impossible.

    Idk if you’re being sarcastic but Hollow Knight is far from the best game of all time. Not saying it’s not good, but to crown it ahead of soooo many better games is pretty ridiculous.

      And even if it were the best game of its genre, how can you compare it to other best games of all times like GTA SA or Mario Galaxy 2? They are totally different.
