Yet another Nintendo Direct passes without Silksong news, and if you're wondering how people are taking it, you must be new here

Hornet from Hollow Knight: Silksong is seated, morose, on a bench.

At this point, Silksong can be defined less as a 'videogame that is coming out' and more of a white whale for its prospective playerbase, which is having more fun in the cycle of deprivation, hope, wilting defeat, and sorrow than I can ever imagine they'd have playing it.

In case you don't know the score—Silksong was first announced in 2019. You might notice it is now 2025. This has been a constant point of consternation for its playerbase, who have seen a needle move further and further into the horizon with nary a word from developer Team Cherry, bar trailers that lead to nothing, or promises that yes, this game still does actually exist.
