On Xbox Wire, ID@Xbox director Guy Richards gave the game the briefest of nods (thanks, IGN) in a post detailing how the publisher has paid out over $5 billion to independent devs throughout the program. This largesse has resulted in games like Balatro and Phasmophobia coming to market and is presumably being used to fund Team Cherry's ongoing, lavish Australian lifestyle in some sense or another. The post reads:
"Looking ahead, our lineup is incredible with upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak to play across the whole Xbox universe… and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too!"
The Hollow Knight community, long used to this kind of chicanery, have been cracking jokes and commiserating ever since. Will Silksong ever see the light of day? We imagine so, but the suffering must continue for some time yet.
Do you think Silksong will live up to the hype? Do you expect to see it emerge this year or even next? Burrow deep into the comforting warmth of the comments section below.
