same tbh. for some reason i'm not really feeling this direct when it comes to silksong news.Gonna be honest...not putting the clown mask on for tomorrow.
Really not sure. it said "int he next 12 months" just a few months ago at E3. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear much until later this year.I think it's finally time!!! Of course, I've said that at least a dozen times in the past, so what do I know?
It’s sus, and I say that as someone who had 0 expectations of news tomorrowIs it a coincidence that Fangamer just released a new line of Hollow Knight figures the day before the Direct????
Yes. Yes, it is.
To me, it suggests the game is basically done. Team Chery initially said they were only going to do two platforms at launch, then expand later, due to a lack of resources. But now they've announced 5 platforms. So I think the core gameplay has to be finished, and we're in the "get all the ports up to snuff" phase. But who knows how long that will last?I don't know what to make of this news. I've heard some say it bodes well for getting a release date sooner, and others saying the opposite.
I'm certainly glad those on the PlayStation are gonna be able to play though.
On that same note, and also as a fun tidbit, the Switch port for Hollow Knight was announced a month before the game released on PC.To me, it suggests the game is basically done.

What's interesting is as far as I can tell, the PS4/PS5 version is NOT confirmed to be coming on day one like Switch/PC/Xbox
there has been yes news to report today
My impression/theory at this point is that TC were going to repeat the HK launch, aiming for NSW/PC on day 1, but both PS and Xbox knocked on their door and incentivised them (money/marketing/distribution deal, etc.) to instead aim for a multiplat release on day 1 respectively. Basically non-officially delaying the other versions as a consequence, but lucky for them they obviously never communicated anything regarding a potential timeline. Their silence has been a bit weird, but it's not like anyone can really reproach them for doing it this way. Potentially.I wonder if Sony went the Microsoft way and threw money (or perhaps resources) at Team Cherry to get the game to come to Playstation.
That would make a lot of sense, but like you said since they never even gave a release window no one really knows if there was a delay due to something like that or not. Hell, they still haven't actually given a release window themselves, AFAIK the only reason we have a window is since Microsoft did the whole "within the next 12 months" thing for their show and then Microsoft confirmed it on twitter for Silksong as well. But you could be dead on here.My impression/theory at this point is that TC were going to repeat the HK launch, aiming for NSW/PC on day 1, but both PS and Xbox knocked on their door and incentivised them (money/marketing/distribution deal, etc.) to instead aim for a multiplat release on day 1 respectively.
