Nintendo Direct Silksong News Summarized

I mean, who's surprised at this point.
(Team cherry can take as long as they need, it was silly for us to get our hopes up for this direct lol)

[@soccerfan-ep9rt]

Plot twist, this was made before the direct and nothing changed

somebody probably already made a meme if silksong actually come and actually didnt post it yet until silksong came

[@shuckle9529]

Leth said on hk discord few hours before direct that there will be no news

[@sumdud23]

nooooooo i thought it was new it was new then saw your comment then the upload date😭😭😭

[@piern1k336]

Havent worked

[@freddy4603]

I think we should wait by waiting for other releases we aren't so invested into

[@Zyckro]

@@freddy4603 Of course. It's a healthy objective not to get too invested in something. Edit: Or, rather, in the case you are invested in something, not let it control your life.

[@Pineapple-hx9ty]

the last thing we want is team cherry pushing a release date and stressing themselves over it.

[@chamberstommy]

@@Pineapple-hx9ty YES. YES YES YES. GOD I LOVE THIS FANBASE.

[@PrizMatex]

Man the Silksong hunger is really getting intense. Welp, I can only hope the developers have some sneak peak for February 24 (aka Hollow Knight 4th Anniversary)

yea

[@firelord508]

[@placeholderdoe]

Great joke! *looks at release date* oh.

[@landmine7748]

Even after a year this is still true

[@earthboundkid1]

Say it with me everyone. Team Cherry will likely go there own way and do their own thing with the release date of Silksong, and if the release date is ever in reach of being met (which it is not at this point in time but may be soon, my prediction is end of April end of may or End of August). There is NO WAY IN HELL! Team Cherry would let ANYONE! ESPECIALLY! Nintendo near the date. Why you may ask? Well I will explain. 1. Leth (Team Cherry's PR guy) Has said many times that the reason Team Cherry revealed Silksong to the public when they did is because they were worried about it leaking. 2. Nintendo has messed up with their langue around Silksong. At the Silksong Nintendo Tree House demo of E3 2019. The presenter ladies say "Silksong is coming soon" and " The game is wrapping up development" and as anyone with two eyes and a brain can see we are in in February of 2021 with no Silksong to speak of. Leth Has said that the coming soon and the game is swrapping up langue was Nintendo's wording not Team Cherry's. 3.Nintendo has caused other confusion by. Putting Silksong on various "Nintendo Roadmaps", Putting Silksong in Various fiscal year reports, and most egregiously there was the time Silksong accidently got put into the coming soon tab of a few EU and UK Nintendo E-shops ironically and purely by dumb luck and shier coincidence 2 weeks before Silksong's " 'leaked' place holder release date" of June 12 2020. So putting it all together. Team Cherry is paranoid about leaks. Anyone who has been a long time fan of Hollowknight knows this, this is why the Silksong demo has not gone public and why Team Cherry prefers to stay quite about the game. Nintendo is not very air tight when it comes to stopping leaks of any kind and has made several big mistake around Silksong in the past. So unless Leth is doing shadowy work behind the scenes to coordinate the launch with Nintendo. Which is not likely because lining a direct or indie world up with Team Cherry's "notoriously" short time frames between the reveal of the the release date and the actual launch, is very difficult if not impossible. Leth has even said "I don't know when directs are or what will be in them". This all leads to one conclusion which is Team Cherry will more than likely go there own way and do their own thing with the release date of Silksong

[@teaenthusiast6193]

The fact that this is still true now lol

[@Furugeru]

"Why did we even come?" Why, the silksong edge magazine cover has the answer to that.

[@martin6108]

Oh no

[@LerilayRelyable]

No voice to cry suffering

[@Grace-tv9xc]

Wait, I might be dumb, but I’m pretty sure that information wouldn’t be on a Nintendo Direct since it’s an indie developed by Team Cherry, not Nintendo. Hollow Knight wasn’t initially released on the Switch either.

[@davethompson9112]

True. I held out hope mainly because this time Team Cherry said it would be launched specifically on Switch first this time along with PC

[@ianshaw6997]

Well two things, one nintendo already made a twenty minutes gameplay video about silksong a year ago and silksong WILL be on switch on release

[@Grace-tv9xc]

@@ianshaw6997 Yes, but the Nintendo Direct only focuses on content that Nintendo specifically plans to release this year. ie Smash, Zelda, and Spalt. The gameplay they showed was a separate thing from the Direct.

[@moonfrostsketches]

@@Grace-tv9xc if this is true, then why did Hades get a segment? what about the monster hunter game? most of the games shown in modern nintendo directs aren't coming directly from them

[@Grace-tv9xc]

@@moonfrostsketches The Monster Hunter game is developed by Capcom which is a cooperation developing this game specifically for the Nintendo Switch. They’ve been partners since the 80’s and even worked on some Legend of Zelda games. As for Hades, all they really did was announce a physical copy. We didn’t get any info about the actual game.
