I always assumed it was

[–][deleted] 243 points244 points  (8 children)

Now we wait for 2023 for two more extra news on Silksong

[–]Mobile_Phone8599 83 points84 points  (4 children)

I think two is being generous. It'll be at a random moment and then they'll announce something like 4k support for the PS5.

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (1 child)

Sorry guys r/SilksongIsntReal

[–]LimeSenior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

takes special medication

I know but a man can dream

[–]HoHeyyy 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Yup, was expecting the game released mid-2023 on gamepass / PS4 / PS5 at the same time. Or if they decided to do Steam first like the 1st game, fine by me.

[–]ComanderLucky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Xbox event stated that the games presented will all be released in a timespan of a year, meaning it is 9 months max from us

[–]memestealer1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should stop putting off finishing Hollow Knight because if I don't Silksong is actually gonna drop (in a few centuries) and I won't have an excuse

[–]thats_so_cringe_bro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When they announced it for Xbox I was thinking, well it'll obviously hit Playstation eventually and here we are. Not even remotely shocked. Indie games usually hit both sides. lol

[–]LuisTheHuman 166 points167 points  (22 children)

when?

[–][deleted] 129 points130 points  (2 children)

That's all we are getting

[–]LuisTheHuman 29 points30 points  (1 child)

I'll get this game no matter when it releases tho

[–]Apokolypse09 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Easily my highest anticipated indie game HK is the best metroidvania I've played since Symphony of the Night

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (2 children)

Back in June it was announced it’s coming in less than 12 months, so probably early-mid 2023.

[–]smorjoken 44 points45 points  (11 children)

when it releases

[–]Jish013 43 points44 points  (1 child)

This is definitely one of the games ever made

[–]djmoogyjackson 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Not yet

[–]zerox369 6 points7 points  (7 children)

It's speculated to come out in June 2023

[–]smorjoken 31 points32 points  (1 child)

it's been speculated to come out every month the last few years

[–]JCarterPeanutFarmer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right along with the Switch Pro dude trust me just wait

[–]Xawfire 2 points3 points  (4 children)

It's not speculated it's official, microsoft confirmed it (unless team cherry delays it)

[–]zerox369 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Oh nice, thanks for clarifying

[–]alpacamegafan 10 points11 points  (2 children)

To clarify further, it’s not confirmed in June 2023, but it’s confirmed that it will release by June 2023. This means that the game might come out before June, and it doesn’t have to be that month specifically.

[–]edibui 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Or Microsoft got a ‘yeah, maybe’ when asking and felt that was quite enough to throw it into that lineup

[–]alpacamegafan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I’m leaning towards that more, but I’m on pure hopium at this point because I will be pretty sad if it doesn’t come out by that time. Game looked damn finished both trailers we saw it.

[–]MrEzquerro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering xbox slotted it within 12 months from when they announced it (was it june or was it gamescom?), I guess the same for ps4/5 unless there is some exclusivity involved?

[–]Voyager-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within 12 months of the Xbox showcase which was in June this year.

[–]tacodog7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in due time

[–]Mani707 54 points55 points  (1 child)

SHAAAAW! Just give it to me!!

[–]andykekomi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HADEEDO

[–]Firaxyiam 50 points51 points  (2 children)

Now all we need is a date, but no matter when, I'll be waiting

[–]erasethenoise 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Next year Nintendo will be allowed to confirm it’s coming to Switch. Then in 2024 Steam will tweet about Deck compatibility.

[–]easycure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know you joke but it's been confirmed for switch for a while now.

[–]Geekos 39 points40 points  (12 children)

This game was announced in 2019. With gameplay footage.

[–]LionIV 13 points14 points  (4 children)

3 years development for a game like Silksong doesn’t sound like a lot of dev time. Keep in mind, every frame of Hollow Knight was hand drawn and hand painted just like Cuphead. And look how long they took to make their DLC.

[–]PuppyMonkeyBaby_0 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Silk song was in development a little after Hollow Knight in 2017. 5 years of development, I’m not composing as this game will have a crazy amount of content but still. It’s crazy how long they’re spending in it.

[–]ReFlectioH 19 points20 points  (1 child)

There are just 3 of them

[–]Horrific_Necktie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind COVID was in there somewhere

[–]timeRogue7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Towerfall released in 2013. OK Games next release wasn’t until 2018 with Celeste.
Indie games, especially highly polished ones, take time.

[–]D1rtyH1ppy 0 points1 point  (5 children)

It had a playable demo in 2019

[–]Charsplat_yeet 1 point2 points  (4 children)

A playable demo that was unpolished compared to recent trailers, and the game is way larger in scope than that demo

Also, that demo had been at least partially in development since 2017

[–]rpgmind 0 points1 point  (3 children)

So I played hollow knight,but what is this? A sequel? The name sounds like dlc but the long development time looks like sequel

[–]Charsplat_yeet 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Sequel, it used to be dlc but it got too big

[–]rpgmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh ok that makes sense, thanks for explaining 😊

[–]-cuackduck- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a full sequel

[–]jerryberry1010 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Finally! Time to Bapa those nadas!!

[–]Rockstabulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always heard it as Bacca nada. Now I'm not sure which I like better

[–]tehcup 7 points8 points  (1 child)

One piece is going to end by the time this comes out lol.

[–]lbrjohn3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And GRRM will have published his 6th book

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I thought it was coming to Sega Genesis and Soulja Boy Console.

[–]AgentAstrolux 6 points7 points  (2 children)

This is awesome. Finally just beat Hollow Knight last week after about 3 attempts to get into it. Finally clicked for me and I've absolutely loved everything about it. I'm ready for this. Playing Aeterna Noctis now as I've needed something similar to play

[–]Xanforth 1 point2 points  (1 child)

AN is an amazing game. Just hope and pray you don’t get the save game bug that takes you back to 37% completion. I’m still waiting for a damn update to fix this annoyance

[–]AgentAstrolux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, didn't know about that

[–]Butteredscotch 11 points12 points  (2 children)

I like hollowknight so much I plan on getting a HK tattoo, but I wanna stop hearing about Silksong until I can actually play it 🙃

[–]interstellar304 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Seems like a decade ago when it was first leaked as a real game

[–]haynespi87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

word

[–]thats4thebirds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WHEN THO SWAY

[–]Cheddarlicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m absolutely shocked. So shocked that my life and thoughts are unaffected and my life plays out exactly as it would already because I’m just so shocked.

[–]dolphin_spit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok??? but when?

[–]Mannymanstein 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'm curious if it will release the same time as the switch and PC version. Either way this is great news.

[–]HaouLeo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I mean, you never know, but it would be very dumb to announce its coming out for PS when they dont even have a release date, only for them to come out later saying the PS date is different. If they announced now, its likely coming out at the same time as the others.

[–]Mannymanstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be sweet.

[–]Deaf-Echo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How is this any kind of update? I finally forgot about it hoping the next “news” would be a release date.. but no we get this so called news

[–]OptionalDepression -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A total non-event. A nothing burger, if you will.

[–]PussyLunch 8 points9 points  (30 children)

That’s huge. To think this game has taken so long to come out that it went from being an Nintendo exclusive to every other company getting a piece of the pie.

[–]backstreets_93 76 points77 points  (8 children)

It was never a Nintendo exclusive.

It was revealed at a direct but it was always going to other systems.

[–]Acedrew89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually makes me think that a big part of their delay was making sure they would release on all platforms simultaneously.

[–]CannibalEmpire 21 points22 points  (10 children)

I had no idea it was a Nintendo exclusive. Hollow Knight came out on PC before switch, didn’t it?

Edit: why do people downvote for asking a question politely?

[–]LionIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During their kickstarter, they had a stretch goal of porting Hollow Knight to the Wii U. They reached it, But considering how the Wii U was pretty much already dead by then, they decided to move over development to the Switch. But yea, for a minute, Hollow Knight was a PC exclusive and the main reason why I finally built one. But they always had at least one console port in the chamber.

[–]PussyLunch -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

Well I may be wrong, but it was only announced for Switch and PC and now 4 years later it gets announced for Playststion before it’s still even out. Never seen something like it before.

[–]thexvoid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because it was obvious it was coming to other platforms. Its been shown at xbox shows, and beyond that was originally dlc for hollow knight.

[–]simonthedlgger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never seen something like it before.

They were just treating it like a normal indie release. It was going to be on PC and, because they have a good relationship with Nintendo, Switch. But development has gone on longer than anticipated and Hollow Knight continues to sell, so they've had time/resources to get it ready for Xbox and Playstation prior to release.

[–]whats8 -5 points-4 points  (5 children)

Edit: why do people downvote for asking a question politely?

Because this is /r/PS5. Where comments get downvoted for the most random reasons, or even for no reason. It's just a thing here--try not to read into it.

[–]ZaheerAlGhul 5 points6 points  (4 children)

It’s a thing all across reddit.

[–]whats8 -4 points-3 points  (3 children)

No it's not.

[–]RedditorSafeSpace 3 points4 points  (2 children)

It definitely is lol

[–]whats8 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Couldn't care less about what you think. You're wrong.

[–]RedditorSafeSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seethe and cope

[–]alt_sense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was never a Nintendo exclusive. Only the Nintendo fanboys in the switch sub were delusional enough to think so

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (7 children)

It was never confirmed a Nintendo exclusive, but it was assumed.

[–]thexvoid 17 points18 points  (1 child)

No it wasn’t. It was the dlc turned sequel for hollow night, they were never gonna be exclusive.

[–]Hoobleton 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Assumed by whom? I think I assumed the opposite, having played the first one on PS4.

[–]bezzlege 21 points22 points  (2 children)

Which means it was never a Nintendo exclusive

[–]LionIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. When Team Cherry first made Hollow Knight, they focused on making it work on PC first. But they did have a kickstarter stretch goal about porting the game to the Wii U. And that was going to be the only console port because as a small team, they couldn’t justify stretching themselves out thin tweaking the game to work on every platform. But since the Wii U shat the bed, they moved over development to the Switch. And that move was smart as hell, because it sold really well. Eventually the team got enough support to push other ports of the game and the rest is history. I think they struck a deal with Nintendo in terms of marketing rights for Silksong. The same way PlayStation has those “plays better on PS” commercials using COD.

[–]backstreets_93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No it wasn't.

[–]TheMysteriousWarlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a typo in the article, it should read coming to PSX and PS9.

[–]Harrien1234 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Why is it coming to PS4?! Can't you guys see that the last gen consoles are going to hold the game back from its full potential?! /s

[–]HarryCeramics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Obviously its only possible because they are going to disable Ray tracing and full 4K 120FPS VR Move Capabilities

[–]uaitdevil 1 point2 points  (2 children)

the release date is what we want to know, the release date!

ffs, they can release this even on casio calculators as exclusive and i would get it anyway, but i want to know WHEN!

[–]CheesecakeMilitia -1 points0 points  (1 child)

If you would get it anyway, why is "when" an important variable to you?

[–]uaitdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe because i actually want to play it?

[–]shaselai 0 points1 point  (3 children)

First time seeing it referenced on PS platform vs Nintendo/Xbox. Wonder if it will be simul release or 6 month/1 year delay. Did enjoy the first game.

[–]TheBugThatsSnug -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I swear I have seen it in the ps store as "coming soon" so im not sure why this is even news, I thought it always was going to come to ps?

[–]jacksongreyoberg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it’s not in the PS store, nor has it been confirmed as a PS release. All prior trailers have specified other platforms. I believe that is why it is considered news.

[–]jbkinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm wondering, too. It'd suck if there was some sort of timed exclusivity deal for this one.

[–]Snoo-95777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow the prospect of these games not coming to playstation really had me on my toes

[–]p_reddit000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cool thing about backwards compatibility. Games like this where the full graphical power of the PS5 isn't needed can continue coming to the PS4.

[–]Funandgeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pleases me. I loved the first one, even if I did give up when I hit the final DLC and decided I didn't need to miserably grind. The game was a wonderful discovery, so I'm wanting to go into this knowing as little as possible. All I need to know is that it's a proper sequel and when I can get it.

[–]subterrrestrial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it is, the question is when is it coming to switch ?

[–]Karmaic_Justice 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did we not know this already?

[–]HaouLeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh no, even on their website there is no PS icon. Theres Steam, GOG, Humble, Switch and Gamepass.

[–]jetfirejake -3 points-2 points  (6 children)

Is this a DLC or a full new game?

[–]Boverk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was originally intended to be a dlc, but it grew into a full game.

[–]ReFlectioH 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Full new game which is at least 2 times bigger than original

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

source?

[–]ReFlectioH 0 points1 point  (2 children)

For 2 times bigger thing?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yes, or was it your assumption?

[–]ReFlectioH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, this is still a speculation, but pretty much correct. Team Cherry already said that locations will be way bigger because Hornet is more acrobatic. Plus there's stuff like a lot more benches (100 vs less than 50 in original game) and etc

[–]_Oooooooooooooooooh_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i assumed so

hollow knight is already on ps4 (and obviously runs just as well on ps5)

i hope they do support the dualsense though.

[–]hoonthoont47 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Why is this game taking so long to make?

[–]pumpkinpie7809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine right now they're trying to port it to the giant list of consoles it's releasing on

[–]anonareyouokay -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

I'm only getting out of there's an easy mode. Spent WAY too long on hollow knight

[–]lazy_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank god!

[–]MVinnyBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this game has been teased for a decade.

[–]kawag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they fix the input lag.

Hollow Knight on PC is far more responsive than it is on PlayStation. You really get a feel for the timing and it’s just different - I’ve experienced that, and I know many others have, too.

[–]uebshfifjsns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t we pretty much always know it was
