To the surprise of no one and the dismay of many, Hollow Knight: Silksong did not appear in the February 2023 Nintendo Direct showcase. is spoken to give the community some makeover. hope as they pray for a *note checks* Silksweep this year.
Discord user Trustworthy Craig, a verified game tester for developer Team Cherry, said in a recent post, “I’m sorry to all of you, I really want this game out as soon as possible and we testers , work hard.” to deliver it to him, as well as (Team Cherry) of course. It will come and it’s a glorious game worth waiting for. I love you all.”
Does this tell us when Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally be released? Absolutely not. But it’s even more reasonably believable proof that the game works well and isn’t a figment of our imagination.
Silksong is set to launch this year, largely because Microsoft has branded it an Xbox Game Pass 2023 title, with comments from an Xbox boss suggesting it could launch in the first half of the year. Beaten as they are, you can see why Silksong fans (hi, I’m a fan) were hoping to see it during the recent Nintendo Direct, which explicitly focused on games released in the first half of 2023. Alas, Silksong remains one of the great white whales of the current release schedule, but at least we have the words of Trustworthy Craig to console us. And come on, who wouldn’t trust him? The clue is in the name!
Here are the biggest new games of 2023 to keep on your radar.
