“Sure the sport is actual, progressing and can launch. <3” wrote Matthew Griffin in response to a determined fan who simply wished to know if the sport was nonetheless taking place or if it had been cancelled.
This newest wave of Silksong need got here after followers acquired excited a few image of cake. I child you not, expensive reader.
Hole Knight co-creator William Pellen modified his social media profile image to a quite 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 Swap 2. This led to hypothesis that Silksong may be releasing alongside the Swap 2, or someway be proven off on the occasion. The identical account posted up on January 16 that “one thing large is coming, preserve your eyes closed.”
Nonetheless, the account frequently posts absolute nonsense.
Pleasure was rapidly changed into dismay when Youtuber Fireborn posted that Staff 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 joyful that after one more lengthy interval of radio silence, Staff Cherry opted to as soon as once more talk via a third-party quite than instantly. That’s presumably whereas Matthew Griffin determined to take pity on a random fan and ensure that the sport continues 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 Staff Cherry determined to show it right into a full sport, which they needed to announce as early as doable in order that Kickstarter backer’s would concentrate on 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 Staff Cherry needed to do it.
Through the years the three-man growth crew have launched very sporadic updates leaving the vocal fanbase feeling irritated on the lack of progress and knowledge.
