I'm pretty sure the lack of a livestream doesn't matter for this kind of stuff.I'm unsure about Silksong since this isn't livestreamed but hoping for it all the same
sigh Bapanada...Tomorrow is the day right? Maybe? Maybe not?
Not really feeling the clown mask today, but hey, maybe they surprise meFeeling way more nervous today than I usually do for these things. Maybe that’s a good sign?
Showing a known trailer, that was already on microsofts show, without any new information, even less...yeah, no, 100% understand why they did not, would just provoke a backlash.Now I am curious to know why Nintendo didn't even show the trailer that Microsoft revealed.
Maybe they want to announce it closer to whenever it is the game is releasing.
I know some people were doubting the "within 12 months" window since Silksong didn't appear on the Xbox infographic and Team Cherry never issued any press release. Apparently, a play tester confirmed this is the plan.
If they are commiting to this windows, then the core game is done.This was making me think that Silksong was closer than expected, since I didn't see Team Cherry committing to any release window before they had a solid date in mind, and they'd probably only get a solid date in mind very close to release
But it seems that they're just confident they'll be able to get it out in a year. Which does make sense, they're probably wrapping up at this point (maybe even done with active development and moving on to QA/testing)
Also, since the game's rating has been submitted, there's only so much they can change without needing to re-submit.If they are commiting to this windows, then the core game is done.
Maybe some balancing, cleaning up, QA, maybe even work on some side areas if they are that motivated.
But the core game cant get much of a retooling in that timeframe, with how interconnected everything is in such a game.
Thread ignore is your friendHey guys. After going through that “HK is overrated” thread I thought I’d come here to a safe space and say that I appreciate every one of you!
It’s August now and I think this is the month we finally get a release date (just a hunch). Hang in there, gang! We’re almost at the finish line!
I doubt a shadow drop, but that’s the next legitimate chance of getting news most likely. Unless the madmen have it as the closer of the Indie World likely in a couple weeks, but I think it’s beyond that now.shadow drop in the september direct?
As someone who won't be playing Pokemon neither God Of War during that time, December sounds perfect!A few days ago I was thinking August would be the perfect month for Silksong to come out, because September has Splatoon 3 already, October is loaded, and November has Pokémon.
Another great option would be December. In my heart, Hollow Knight is huge enough for Silksong to qualify as a big holiday title, so maybe that'll happen.

I'm glad it wasn't released sooner, that way i can focus on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for the next months.
The next two months would be the ideal time for the game to drop for me. I've not got much I'm really dying to pick up until maybe October with Sparks of Hope (and even that I'm fine with waiting on since it'll be on sale pretty quickly given it's an Ubisoft title)I really did not expect for it to skip summer aftere the showing.
Not as if i would have had time anyway. Still, confusing.
Much as I wish it were sooner, I'm leaning toward early 2023, like February-ish in a similar window to when the original launched. But October or December would also be a great time.

Yeah I'm not super hopeful about it launching this year, but honestly so long as it stays relatively clear of BoTW2, FE, and Pokemon S/V, I'm fine with it releasing whenever.Much as I wish it were sooner, I'm leaning toward early 2023, like February-ish in a similar window to when the original launched.

Where did this happenWell, it looks like a September direct has been practically confirmed.
Are we hoping for a showing?
Nate has confirmed a Direct "Soon"Where did this happen
I don't think they'd try to do November, too busy. Early 2023 is more nebulous since we're expecting both BOTW2 and FE somewhere in there but have no idea when yet. Personally I'd love Silksong in a calmer winter window, like December or January when there's usually not much else going on.Yeah I'm not super hopeful about it launching this year, but honestly so long as it stays relatively clear of BoTW2, FE, and Pokemon S/V, I'm fine with it releasing whenever.
I think it was confirmed to release on Xbox day one.Hmmm. As much as I'd love to see Silksong in any capacity, I don't think it'll show up with Microsoft again until after release.
The game is still most likely to release on Switch and PC firstmost, then come to Xbox later just as it did with HK.
EDIT: To clarify: day one on gamepass doesn't mean when it releases it'll be on Xbox right there and then, it just means when it does come to Xbox it will be on gamepass.
