“Sure the sport is actual, progressing and can launch. <3” wrote Matthew Griffin in response to a determined fan who simply needed to know if the sport was nonetheless taking place or if it had been cancelled.
This newest wave of Silksong want got here after followers received excited a few image of cake. I child you not, pricey reader.
Hole Knight co-creator William Pellen modified his social media profile image to a slightly tasty slice of cake. A fast reverse Google search led to followers discovering that the cake was from a recipe posted on 2nd April 2024, precisely one 12 months forward of when Nintendo will maintain an occasion displaying off the Change 2. This led to hypothesis that Silksong may be releasing alongside the Change 2, or by some means be proven off on the occasion. The identical account posted up on January 16 that “one thing large is coming, hold your eyes closed.”
Nonetheless, the account recurrently posts absolute nonsense.
Pleasure was shortly was dismay when Youtuber Fireborn posted that Group Cherry’s Leth, who is identical Matthew Griffin from above, apparently reached out to tell him that the cake means nothing.
A number of followers have been lower than pleased that after yet one more lengthy interval of radio silence, Group Cherry opted to as soon as once more talk by means of a third-party slightly than straight. That’s presumably whereas Matthew Griffin determined to take pity on a random fan and make sure that the sport remains to be really being labored on.
Silksong is in a little bit of a bizarre place. It started life as DLC for Hole Knight, funded through Kickstarter. Nonetheless, the challenge grew a lot in scope that Group Cherry determined to show it right into a full recreation, which they needed to announce as early as attainable in order that Kickstarter backer’s would pay attention to the change. And so in 2019 the announcement was made. It was far too early to disclose the sport as a result of it had barely begun growth however Group Cherry needed to do it.
Through the years the three-man growth staff have launched very sporadic updates leaving the vocal fanbase feeling irritated on the lack of progress and data.
