At least they said it earlier this time… The wait continues…
Team Cherry delivered a master piece by taking their time and releasing it when it was done.
So I have full faith in them and will hope the community also continues to has the patience to not pester them.
There’s also a recurring theme in all the interviews after release, they were very open about their biggest regret being how much content had to be cut from the original plans for the first game due to budget constraints. Some things were restored in the content packs afterward, but other things were too foundational to the game’s overarching structure to make sense to be patched in after the fact. The Dreamer sanctums were going to be full fledged dungeons with a big climactic boss fight with each Dreamer, the Abyss was going to be an entire zone with multiple bosses rather than a plot only area, the Coliseum was going to be part of a much more involved sidequest, and there were several major zones that just didn’t end up in the game at all. The result was still a great game, but a shadow of the absurdly ambitious project they envisioned starting out. I assume they’re making Silksong with the intention of not leaving any “what might have been” things.
There is definitely pestering, doesn’t matter what they say or do. People will always pester so all we can do is hope it doesn’t get to them, which we’ve seen happen many times to others. But I don’t think there’s a reason to worry here, they know what they’re doing.
They made a gigantic mistake by announcing it so easily, but at the same time, a lot of people take it way too far with the excitement. Let them cook
bummer, but let them cook.
Are these dyed sushi ?
Wait…that’s still an thing? They first talked about it in 2019. After that nothing.
Silksong soon to join Duke Nukem Forever and Half Life 3 in the halls of “never released.”
I love how this implies he had to go out of his way to personally ask the developers themselves if it was ready or not.

I think we should just forget the game exists. One day they will announce it, but until them, let’s just assume there is no Silksong, and Team Cherry is just taking a long long vacation.

I’ve been trying to forget for 5 years now. The hype train will never stop.

My hype train was put away for a couple years, but it came back out this year. If there’s not a definitive release date by the end of the year, then I will go back to pretending it doesn’t exist.

I’m not even the biggest Hollow Knight fan, but as long as Fantasy Critic exists, I cannot forget about Silksong.
