Hollow Knight Silksong Update: We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.
Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong.
We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We're excited by how the game is shaping up, and it's gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.
Expect…

Do my eyes deceive me? A silksong update? I must be dreaming
I can dig it. Take your time.
as far as I’m concerned, they can take as long as they need to if it means silksong will be anywhere near as good as hollow knight, but it’s nice to have an update
Take your time devs. Always better to listen to people bitch about slow development than to be remembered forever as the devs who pushed their game out too early and ruined an entire franchise.
I mean I hate that it’s taking so long but I also love that they are putting the effort into making it a good game
At least they said something. Confirmation of a delay is better than an unannounced one.
Ngl after all these years, it feels kinda weird to finally have a real Silksong update. It’s not much, but at least the game doesn’t seem to be in development hell.
The pros of having a deadline, you get your game released quickly no matter what. The cons, you have a level full of lava and a dozen dinosaur butts.
I love how every time a game gets delayed the public reaction is “at least they are taking their time and not releasing an unfinished product etc etc” That would be more fine with me if they hadn’t been pushing back the expected date for years, whatever their reasons may be. Just work on it and announce something that you can actually hit.
You telling me this still exists???
man the update is appreciated, but not even necessary
just do like Nintendo and release it when it’s *done,* so fucking sick of unfinished games!
that being said, I do love how the update is basically “the game got huge, but we can’t stop adding shit! so chill, we’re on it” 😁
This means we’re in the final 10 years, let’s go!
I dont mind the wait, they can take all the time they need, but i do mind getting no updates at all for sometimes several months, even a full year of radio silence, surely its not too much to ask for that they keep us in the loop atleast a little more?
I don’t care when it’s released, I just want it to be within my lifetime.
Ah well. We were getting pretty close to when they’d have to release it on GamePass via the announcement last year, so I figured a delay was imminent due to not hearing about it. I’ll continue paitently anticipating it.
Hollow Knight subs unironically losing their shit over any byte of information they can sniff out of Silksong.
2024 it is then
Understandable, have a good day

>!It’s okay Team Cherry we all want to play Tears of the Kingdom too!<
Oh good, I’d stocked up on clown makeup and it seems like I’ll have plenty of time to use it up 🥲
Well at least that’s better than absolutely nothing

Rather wait for fall than be Redfall
I don’t like that every developer thinks they have to make a very big game which is like 50+ hours to beat. Can be overwhelming
I’m totally fine if it’s just a good 15-20 hour experience
I have significant worries for the game. The first game was big enough as it is so bigger is defintely not better in this case. Also I think the devs have dug themselves into a hole here because ultimately it will just be more Hollow Knight, which would still be a great game but with how long it’s took people’s expectations are sky high and I don’t know if anythig they do will satisfy people now.
I’m all for the sentiment of them taking their time but by now, especially with the lack of updates, I’m worried somethings gone really wrong with this games development. Either it really wasn’t working and they’ve had to rework it over and over or they don’t know when to stop and the games going to become a bloated mess. I really hope I’m wrong on this though.
I hope the game isn’t becoming so big that it will feel like a chore trying to finish it.
I will be shocked if this game ever actually comes out
Welp… guess I’ll have more time to focus on Tears of the Kingdom in the meantime.
