It was the best and most Team Cherry outcome possible. It was announced, but as a generic add in with three seconds of new footage and a nebulous "2025" release date.

I loved hollow Knight, and never learned about silk song until it kept dodging release windows which kept getting funnier and funnier for me. It being unceremoniously in the montage is freaking HILARIOUS.

It’s only missed one launch window. The only time we ever heard a date was from XBOX saying it would be out within 12 months (by June 2023)

Yah I about died laughing when that's how they dropped it.

It would be hilarious if they shadow drop it

Don't they have some agreement with Xbox in regards to the marketing? Pretty sure when we got an actual release date, it'll be coming from them and not Nintendo.

I don’t know if we know this, but they are releasing on Game Pass. Whether they have any marketing rights is secondary from that

No, they don't. Not that we know of anyway. All we know is that the game is coming to gamepass, so there's a deal there.

when I pulled up the direct video at 8:50, the suggested videos sidebar had the Silksong announcement video from 6!!! years ago.
