Silksong announced for 2025 on the Nintendo Direct

I need to rephrase that. I'm not believing until I see the game released
-
That scene where you're fighting the dude and she swoops in and breaks his face and is like "GE DAH" and the music is fucking epic. They can take all the time they need, I'd rather it be good.

It's also launching day 1 on Game Pass, so Microsoft paid a pretty penny for it.
I assume it will be on basically every subscription IGC.
Big lump sum to start with and guarantee they have a successful launch for any investors. And then people will buy it when it leaves the IGC in 6-12 months because they put it off or were waiting for a DLC or whatever. And then they'll buy it on every single platform because Hollow Knight is that damned good.
But the actual price to get something in an IGC is not as high as people think it is.

3 years after Xbox announced it back in June 2022.
-
On April 2? I'm suspicious.
-
Welp, finally the year to do my first playthrough of Hollow Knight.
-
I seen this song and dance before.

For me, Hollow Knight started out a bit rough, got fun and interesting, but ultimately, I lost interest in trying to finish. There were parts which were a lot of fun, but eventually it became nothing more than a chore. And I've got too many other REAL chores to let a game like this stress me out. So I set it aside without finishing it.
Despite that, I'm looking forward to this sequel. I likely won't be a day one buyer (but who knows???), but I'm still pretty sure I will eventually play it. I'm hoping there are some nice game play and story improvements, but even more of the same could be nice.

Interesting, I had a very similar experience. I loved exploring the world, gaining new powers to unlock even more areas and growing stronger along the way. The world felt alive and authentic. Traversal was fun and combat was fair. I also liked how the characters you randomly meet have their own journeys, making the world feel dynamic.
But as the ending approached, it lost some momentum. With such a vast world and so much to discover, getting from A to B to C took time. I never actually finished the game but somehow that felt fine. It was more about the journey than the destination, which is rare for me.
If the initial reviews are good, the sequel might be the first game I buy at full price in a long time.

Xbox did that I think in like 2022-2023
Yeah that's why I doubt this. It's the same thing we heard before. I'd love to be wrong though!

Nah it’s totally different this time around.
For starters Leth acknowledged Nintendo’s tweet about it by retweeting it, and setting his profile background to the new key art (which was provided by TC themselves)
TC also provided four new screenshots of the game to Nintendo as part of a press kit.
The xbox situation was literally never acknowledged by them at all, except for when Leth ultimately posted that it wasn’t happening lol. Apparently just based on estimates that TC had communicated with them privately, and only ever “confirmed” by a single social media person at Microsoft
This isn’t some random Nintendo direct, but rather THE big event for their big console. And also officially and immediately supported by TC this time around. This is 100% an intentional press rollout
-
Yeah, just like it was announced for 2023 in that one XBox showcase.
I'll believe it when I'm playing it.
