A few more tidbits, but nothing earth shattering. No release date either, still “when it’s ready.” Don’t click if you want to go in blind, they talk about some of the areas and game mechanics, but it’s nothing you wouldn’t expect from a sequel.

God watching that just makes me want to play it now. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this games Deepnest-analogue is going to be like. Speculation on what theme that area will have: Cordycep shrooms? Tarantula hawks? Ant nest/termite mound? Whatever it is I hope it's really unsettling and viscerally unpleasant to get through.

It's gotta be soon now. I'd play the original game again but I don't want to burn out on the formula just in time for release (and I still have the Witcher expansions to do, before April).

Small update from team cherry today: http://teamcherry.com.au/team-cherry-holiday-sign-off/

Not too much, but we already don't deserve team cherry so no complaints. I'll wait as long as it takes.

2 new Larkin tracks posted though, and they sound great.

I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

I can listen to Larkin's melancholy tracks all day. They were such a big part of the first game.

:agreed:

It was more bittersweet than melancholy, but I literally sat with Quirrel and listened to the rain and music of the city of tears for like 15 minutes.

I already love that the score will probably be 30+ tracks and focuses on strings as a theme to match Hornet. I'm a sucker for deep, broody cello too, hope Larkin does some magic with that.

Just noticed too that those 2 songs are free to download on his Bandcamp.

It's weird I'm more internally hyped for this than I was for No Mans Sky back in the day, and yet I'm super not bothered in the slightest about the lack of info and a release date. It's the most chilled out hype I've ever experienced.

But it's there. I'll break my never preorder rule for this game, if they make pre ordering a thing.

I’ll definitely preorder when the time comes. I hope there’s some sort of deluxe version - I feel like it’s criminal that I’ve only given Team Cherry $15 thus far.

The soundtrack is for sale too, if you like the music.

I only paid £3 for HK on the pc to the point of paying £20 for it on my Switch still felt like an amazing deal. It is an amazing deal. I'll preorder Silksong definitely.

one thing I'm really hoping for in silksong would be if Hornet gets a dream boss battle vs our own Hollow Knight., but the fully powered up one. It would be really neat to be on the other side of that boss battle

Fighting a fully powered canonical Knight from the first game would be super fun.

I want a fight with the protagonist. Low health, but they're tiny and never loving hold still.

Yeah, they’re small as a thimble, hyper agile, full of explosive dark magic, a master nailsmith, and have all sorts of weird attacks thanks to charms. A real fight with that little Nugget would be amazing.

With a phase 2 against their shade once you destroy their shell.

Any release date announcement will just turn into the forever hype/disappointment cycle of Cyperpunk 2077 unless its something like " Oh yeah Silksong comes out in two weeks".

No idea if a timed console exclusive would qualify Team Cherry as a "development partner" but I'm going to baselessly speculate we get a Silksong release date in this

lol I saw this announcement and had the exact same thought. If we don't get it here I might just say to hell with it and start a new game in HK to pass the time.

I would do the same except both my my left joycons are undergoing repair right now. I may just have to double dip on PS4. Happy to give Team Cherry a few more bucks anyway.

What wait to start a new game? You should always do that immediately after beating your previous game!

part of me has always kind of assumed that any delay is 100% because of nintendo and 100% because they would want a switch version to be ready and launch at the same time as the pc copy

worst case scenario is them bullying team cherry into doing a switch release first
