Earlier this month, Nintendo announced a surprise trial for the first Hollow Knight, and fans were sure it meant that Silksong news was finally coming after two long, silent years. Then a 40-minute Direct was announced, and huge reveals were rolled out back-to-back from a new Mario & Luigi to a Zelda-focused Zelda to Metroid Prime 4! But no Silksong. Fans are taking it as well as you'd expect.
"I'm gonna be real, the longer [developer] Team Cherry goes on without saying anything, the less excited I feel for Silksong," one fan tweeted. "I'm not asking for them to rush the game out. I'm not asking for them to post every week. Just give us at least some communication that doesn't make it look like you use passenger pigeons in 2024."
Metroid Prime 4 was in a similar position after having been announced seven years ago during E3. Nintendo kept eerily quiet, so fans were met with crushing disappointment at every single showcase until it became a joke.
And then, out of nowhere, we finally got a date in the new gameplay trailer. Silksong fans are currently in the 'became a joke' part of the cycle...
