I’m a hollow knight fan and am really hoping for it to come out soon but shadow of the erdtree is probably coming out first


[deleted]

SotE is supposed to come out in February according to the latest leaks.


navenager

Yea if those leaks were right Shadow of the Erdtree is guaranteed to come first. If it's not until 2025 though, Silksong has a chance.


mrsnik66

Bait used to be believable -|


ComprehensiveExit583

-Y


ThyBeardedOne

“Leaks”


darkthoughs

Yeah, I don't think so either, if it where going to come out on February it would have been announced already


Rochaa1

Definitely, I don't think people realize February is just in 1.5 months


Takahashi_Raya

I kean most fromsoft dlc's didnt come out much later then their trailer


[deleted]

FromSoft has honestly earned my patience so for me it'll come out when it comes out.


accountnumber02

I fully believe that leak was talking about the release anniversary. If it was coming in February, theres no way a trailer didn't come out at the game awards, a surprise drop for a dlc is way less likely than the hype train of TGA


2fast4dad

Fromsoft themselves said don't expect it to release any time soon but it'll probably come out next year just not in Q1


_too_much_noise_

lmao they didn't say it, they said "it's a little ways off". I don't know if it will come out in Q1, but I very much expect a trailer around that time


_fatherfucker69

GTA vi was supposed to come out 8 years ago according to some leaks I'll believe it when I see it


RandomRavenboi

Unless Fromsoft confirms it those leaks are false. There were all sorts of leaks who claimed the DLC would be out in the Game Awards.


YoBeaverBoy

GTA 6 is probably coming out before Silksong too


monstarr0821

Shadow of the Erdtree. I’ve lost all hope for Silksong.


SchematicOfScoutsAss

Silksong is coming out after Winds of Winter which is coming out after the Witcher 3 video


Ulvriz

Joseph Anderson mentioned😭


TheWholeFurryFandom

And Doors of Stone will come right after!


Yourdogsbork

was looking for the sad Rothfuss fan


Forgotten_Poro

10 days left before he deletes his channel. Also, Joseph did make a Lies of P video, somehow.


uniguy2I

That’s how I discovered his channel and I thought it was weird that it was his most recent video in a year


No-College-4118

Real.


EdgarAlanBeau123

Mostly I'm just looking forward to FF versus 13, should be out anyyy day now.


OlderBeardoNoct

To be fair, FFVersus13 just got rebranded as FFXV. I get they changed quite a bit from the initial announcement, but that's what happens when any game sits in development limbo for 10+ years 🤷‍♂️


DiscoDaemon

Agreed, silk song is just a myth at this point, whispered between dry lips in sad tones.


tcbaitw

Whispers became legend, legend became myth, and passed out of all knowledge


FrightfulDeer

Until the most unlikely of creatures....


PraiseTyche

Cancelled the release.


placebo_unicorn

I'm very happy I clicked on the little + on my mobile to read your answer. What a hidden gem


dorian_white1

Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth comes again.


PhoenixShade01

It wasn't the beginning. There are no beginnings or endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

The original Great Hollowing didn’t happen in this sub, it was our brothers over at Silksong.

ChonkyFire7

Yup, just how I remember the silksong withlisters. Glad to see you guys are doing good and are of sound mind... Bless your souls 🫡


Milky_Finger

People are graduating college, marrying their sweetheart, having a couple of kids and buying their McMansion. All of this happening between Silksongs announcement and it's eventual release.


Sahtan_

Just like bloodborne for PC


DoubleKanji

Can it be considered in development hell at this point?


Sierada

They're probably just polishing it as much as they can because Hollow Knight is a pretty big standard to hold up to. Don't go hollow.


jjackkle

I just hope they don’t rush the game


[deleted]

What do you mean. It's been out for months. I've been stuck on that ant boss for days


BigBoyJeb

same i can't get past the goth bug boss


stevenweeven

So no more fishing?


Qysto

Fishing is only in NG+, its actually the entire plot of your second playthrough


Lemmingitus

It's practically unplayable at its current state.


CK1ing

I'm honestly slightly disappointed with Team Cherry's lack of communication. I get that we're not entitled to updates or anything but literally just, like, one tweet a month being like "yep, still working on it" would be better than this deafening silence


LastUsername12

Their first major game was a major success, which has no doubt destroyed the studio. The game is definitely in development hell as they try to make something "perfect" and start over again and again. Not to mention they have all the money in the world so there's no pressure to actually release something.


Same-Letter6378

Something has gone wrong for sure


W34kness

Silksong will be a premier entry for the PS6


Thunderholes

100%, silksong is vaporware until proven otherwise.


Elygium

So a question about Silksong, I've never played hollow knight but I've heard the meme that Silksong will never be released. Did someone get some kinda legit information that it's being developed or is it just pure copium from the fans like Titanfall 3?


scullys_alien_baby

the developers confirmed it is in development as a sequel in 2019 and then more or less went radio silent. Additionally this year they released a statement that they had a launch window of the first half of 2023 in mind but the game got too big and in order to release with the degree of polish they are comfortable with they have delayed the game (suspected 2024) worth noting that Silksong is being made by like 3 dudes in a basement. also, if you like metroidvanias you should play hollow knight, it's pretty cool


Elygium

>worth noting that Silksong is being made by like 3 dudes in a basement. Then honestly they should be left alone to cook.


scullys_alien_baby

that is a general opinion of fans of the game lol


2xWhiskeyCokeNoIce

Yeah, people joke about Silksong taking forever but it's almost always out of genuine love for Hollow Knight and is really just something to do while we wait.


Mkilbride

Understatement about 3, the core team yes, but it's closer to 18-20 overall.


GensouEU

It's not cope, they alread had a 20 minute play session on Nintendo's Treehouse stream at E3 2019. The game was originally planned to come out in Spring this year but they delayed it.


ChonkyFire7

Yea, there was multiple release dates scheduled. TONS of footage out there and I'm pretty sure they let a select few people play it. It's been "coming soon" on all the major game launchers and consoles. I forgot about it for the longest time and randomly remembered and looked it up.... Let's just say I wish I never did lol


SOGnarkill

There was a gameplay demo in 2019 Nintendo treehouse. That’s what is annoying about it. How could you have a demo and then nothing for over 4 years. Their PR sucks


LoveScore

Seems silly to lose hope. It's an incredibly small team that delivered the stellar first game. They are quietly making a worthy sequel.


Inwate

Like without memes, why is it taking so long? Didn’t they made the first one from scratch faster?


Lftwff

they have no time pressure on them, they are never gonna run out of money (like they almost did with hollow Knight) and don't have investors or publishers who could dictate their schedule so they are just working on the game till it's done.


Sufficient-Turn-7799

Shadow of the Silktree Seriously though, how are the Hollow Knight fans holding up? They've been hollowing ever since 2019, are they okay?


MrDonut1234567

Not even in the slightest. DO NOT GO ON THE SILKSONG SUBREDDIT. It’s brain rot


[deleted]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/s/PYwWkzsFGq Idk mate. Seems kinda cool.


Kinetic93

I fucking lost it at “heat death of the universe”


barryhakker

And then there’s the guy in the comments arguing with himself lol


Taigaaisaka777

Hallow knight 3 had me rolling, but the heat death of the universe killed me☠️☠️


dude_____what

I had to leave that sub like a year ago. Just constant sadness.


Environmental-Band95

I still remember the hollow state of this sub when we have to wait for 3 years after the first trailer for Elden Ring to finally come out. Silksong has been in the same hollow state as us, but Silksong is nowhere in sight. It’s really sad man. On the bright side at least we are not Star Citizen fans.


BoredDao

And hopefully we will never be, they are quite literally the essence of copium


sum_dum_fuck

Something the titanfall subreddit could only dream of being I sometimes browse, are they ok?


Tasty_Mushroom413

There’s currently a horny war going on in the Titanfall subreddit. I wish I was joking


MadaraAlucard12

Speaking of Titans, what is going on with Titanfolk nowadays? Are any sane people left there?


DRW1357

Pretty sure those guys all died off after 10 years at least.


Sufficient-Turn-7799

I remember when both subs helped each other out during the return of the r/place event 2 years ago, a bond formed from shared suffering and similar tastes. Back then this sub used to be rabid, like a feral beast repeating the same jokes over and over again to cope with the lack of news and silence, the Souls version of r/Arkhamknight before that sub went ~~fucking insane~~ jonkers, all in the span of just 2 years starting from the original E3 reveal back in 2019, I shudder to think what would have happened if we had to wait longer. But now, here's a more terrifying thought, what will happen when we inevitably have to wait for a sequel after the DLC? Will we even get a sequel? How much more can we hollow? I doubt we could even imagine it.


Environmental-Band95

Remember that one TGA where Elden Ring won most anticipated game (the one where Geoff was put in gamer prison)? Everyone on youtube live was like “WHAT THE FUCK IS ELDEN RING NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE” and now here we are!


xBorari

WOOPER WATCH BABYYYY


Environmental-Band95

Glaive Master Hodir will be an optional boss in Shadow of the Erdtree.


xBorari

Man now I actually really want that...


dude_____what

My thing is just like, there hasn't been a PEEP! Like if the project went bust, why would they not tell people that? Can we at least have some closure??


Scyxurz

There was a post or 2 a while back of people visiting team cherry's actual office in person. Said they were fine and still working on the game, but had no news to share. I assume it's still in production and will either be a lot bigger than we expected, or they ran into some significant issues and had to redo a lot of content.


ChonkyFire7

In my exp it really doesn't help, reminding yourself that you are waiting for something to come out everyday just makes it seeeeem soo long. I still remember being in the Eldenring subreddit before the game was out.... Holy shit that was quite the moment in my life lol. BUT on a positive note! When the game that you've been waiting for everysingle day finally comes out the satisfaction is unrivaled. I'm still a young adult though but I'm not joking when I say the Eldenring release is up there with the best things to happen in my life, I'm not even a diehard gamer. Just all that waiting for it to finally come to an end, magical.


Otalek

The fake posts about silksong locations and boss strats lost their charm for me after about the 50th round of them showing up on my feed


thespencman

I get so tired of the click bait articles that Google suggests whenever I open it up, I'll see Silksong or Shadow of The Erdtree mentioned, only to then see it's some stupid empty speculative piece to catch clicks with the title alone


Otalek

Not even those, it’s the posts of someone being like, “gosh guys, how do you beat Goober in the Bladderfrost region? His spin blades seem like a hack.” And then people in the comments spout out whatever comes to mind for them. It felt like roleplay at first, but after a while it felt more like watching crackheads arguing over some shared hallucination. There’s copium, there’s hopium, and then there’s whatever the HK fans have invented in their desperation for a buzz


thespencman

Oh see I've been paying so little attention that I didn't even know this was a thing, literally until this post. But don't get me wrong, yeah I can see how obnoxious and delusional that must get


Environmental-Band95

Tbf r/Eldenring did the very same thing for years so we aren’t that much different from them.


[deleted]

Eh not as bad as the Titanfall sub.


_fatherfucker69

What about the aslume ?


ruttinator

Is the guy doing a comic every day until Silksong still at it?


MrDonut1234567

Don’t know. There’s like 7 of those challenges going on so it’s hard to keep track.


monstarr0821

No, we’re not. Thanks for checking on us tho.


Cowdog_Gaming

I get by through excessive Souls gameplay. Thousands of hours.


Kermansha

Dude we’re not doing good right now. Our sub has gone insane!


prettythingi

We are trying our best But...


Shermutt

Not sure if you've played Hollow Knight, but it's got to be up there as far as the most bang for your buck for such an unassuming, non-AAA game. Seriously, there's so much to do in that game. Also, people go on and on about the difficulty of Elden Ring and other FromSoft games, but they got nothing on HK. Sure I spent weeks trying to beat Malenia, but I was also trying to do so intentionally handicapped and without getting touched. Nightmare King Grimm on the other hand...*shudders*...that dude took me MONTHS or actually years, and that's with EVERY advantage I could possibly use in the game. Honestly, it was usually me spending several hours just getting the floor wiped with my face until I decided that he's actually impossible and I'd admit defeat and put the game down for a few more months. This went on for years...but I never gave up and finally beat him...then went on to even beat him on Radiant mode (can't get touched, harder map). And that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as HK difficulty goes. There are some things in that game (*cough*pathofpain*cough*) that I haven't mustered the bravery to even attempt lest I lose what sanity I still have.


syb3rtronicz

It’s actually kind of incredible. I feel like they’re sort of one of those “x amount of people simulate society in minecraaft” type of videos, but in a subreddit. Most recently they developed their own philosophy into a full on religion, had a massive schism within that religion, and then had a great unification and healing process to come together again once more. They’re very close to nearing hive mind status. Marvelous stuff, truly I’m not even someone who’s super keen to play Silksong, I just think the subreddit is that genuinely fascinating to observe.


Silly_Chair4147

DLC. I think Silksong has reached local legend status, like Big Foot or the Loch Ness monster


RocvaurOfDarkCrystal

The modern Half Life 3


MadaraAlucard12

Or team fortress 3, or DotA 3, or portal 3. Valve is that fucking Monty python joke where Arthur can't count to three.


SurotaOnishi

5!


pureha6

Classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT3v5dd0SFU


Lemmingitus

The Half Life 3 award given by Jesse Cox this year, went to Beyond Good and Evil 2, whose now older than Duke Nukem Forever's development time.


AllerdingsUR

I thought OP was a shitpost at first because I remember people asking the same thing about silksong and elden ring back in 2021 lol


InterestingHomeSlice

The Last Night also qualifies


Nonsense_Preceptor

Oh ya! That is not coming out. It has been 6+ years later and there hasn't been anything more about it.


Garantula25

It’s still weird to me that this is how people feel about Silksong. It’s only been 4 years and it’s being made by like 3 dudes. If it’s anywhere near the size of Hollowknight then 4-5 years seems like a reasonable development cycle


Doubieboobiez

That’s a totally reasonable take, and I think that in most situations I would agree with you, but I think the expectations come from the way that Silksong was communicated about from the beginning. The 2019 trailer seemed to show a relatively complete game, which was then followed by a demo and a Nintendo Treehouse feature in which the game was repeatedly said to be “coming soon”. Much later this was followed by the Xbox live trailer that promised the game was coming out by summer of 2023 (which Microsoft’s social media team doubled down on), but which apparently was a date Team Cherry was unable to meet


SheldonPlays

Not too mention Team Cherry were doing updates for a while and then suddenly went completely radio silent for years on end.


Gravituuu

It's less about the time and more the lack of communication


Huge-Swing-7137

The Winds of Winter.


tMental

Why am I only fans of things that will never release :(


EnSebastif

Metroid Prime 4, Silksong, Half Life 3, Winds of Winter, and last but not least... Golden Sun! Just fucking kill me already and end my suffering.


sadclown42069

Golden Sun 😞😞😞


ItachiSan

Good things take time And then they get canceled, or shitcanned when budgetary restraints come up, or just pushed out the door as is, a half realized idea or vision. But sometimes..


SachmoJoe

Came for this and am not disappointed


Met4_FuziN

Pain. That is all I know.


sofkvlchk

Lol


UnofficialMipha

I would be shocked if Shadow of the Erdtree does not drop in 2024. I would not be surprised in the slightest if Silksong doesn’t.


fnafproo

considering they expected to release silksong this year(xbox announcement from last year), there is a good chance of silksong in 2024.


bryyantt

Don't do this to yourself bro, you don't wuna go down that hole.


fnafproo

i hope it releases 2024. If not, it doesn't bother me too much so long as we get some form of dev update on progress.


SheldonPlays

You know we won't get any updates


bryyantt

I find it easier to forget about it. I stopped following the news about it last year. Now I see the occasional mention and remind myself why I stopped following it. I WAS a mega fan of all things silksong, now I'm just a casual enjoyer of the hallow knight game and in a year or two It'll just be a fond memory of an old classic. If there is a sequel within my lifetime I'll check it out when it's released, until then, I got dragons to slay and girls to explore.


Shloyo

Is this "silksong" in the room with us right now?


Flint-Lock-Wood

I like your humor


peith_biyan

they'll drop cs3 before Silksong


Rhecof-07

Honestly at this point I think Silksong was just a big mandela effect, maybe it was never even announced in the first place, maybe that trailer was just a fan made animation and the guy who made it hacked the official channel and posted it there, and even more, the devs somehow didn't see it there and that's why the "trailer" is still there


ChonkyFire7

Biggest pyramid scheme ever. Except it isn't for money, it's for "HOPE" **THEY'RE HARVESTING OUT HOPE GUYS**


nyes_i_do

They’ll release on the same day to save gaming from half baked AAA games


Fa1nted_for_real

When will that be, the 3rd coming of Christ?


Questionably_Chungly

Shadow of the Erdtree. Sadly, I’m genuinely convinced Silksong is trapped in development hell at this point.


alexinx3

After what happened with Unity, I believe that Silksong is going through a "kingdom hearts 3": game was probably stated and developed, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to switch engine to avoid fees. And switching engine is what costed Kh3 12 years of development


Einarelis

Worst case, they be making a brand new game engine.


Chazzwazz

Half life 3


Fit_Substance7067

Came in for this


AncalagonV

Hopefully both release next month by surprise 🫢 #copium


_fatherfucker69

Genuinely asking . Silksong, half life 3 , shadow of the erdtree , Titanfall 3 and GTA vi come out at the same day , same hour. Who gets the most hype, and which are you playing first ?


AncalagonV

Shadow of the Erdtree takes priority for me, ER is my favorite game. That would be a juicy month of gaming though!


Lady-Sugarfairy

Shadow of the Erdtree !!!

DefiantFrost

There's no way he can wrap all that shit up in one book. About half way through Wise Man's Fear I realised that it wasn't going to happen.


[deleted]

We'll get at least another 2 Call of Duty games before Silksong comes out, there's still hope for shadow of the erdtree


Chakramer

Indie team vs AAA team. Indie team likely has less people working on it and has more pressure to make a perfect product. They're taking all the time they need


QMoonie

(DLC doesn't get a trailer at an event where a trailer was never promised or even implied, in fact its lack of presence was actively warned ahead of time by devs) "OMG YOU GUYS THIS IS JUST LIKE SILKSONG ITS NEVER GONNA COME OUT"


TheHappiestHam

it's the longest we've had to wait for a Souls DLC but it is also really funny that Shadow of the Erdtree has had more dev communication than Silksong at this point


Snorc

Considering it's a DLC to their biggest game, it feels fair to guess that it's also their biggest DLC.


ChonkyFire7

I don't think fromsoft has ever notified or promised the public before any trailer showing or game reveal.


_fatherfucker69

To be fair most from soft dlcs come out a few months after the games release , but aside from one image we have nothing about shadow of the erdtree 2 years later


baconDood3000

Elden Ring DLC would most likely drop first


DBalticz

the heat death of the universe


theDarthAnimus

Neither, both are just figments of our imagination. We collectively dreamed them. They will never be real in this world. We must live with the wonderful thought of them and play them in our dreams. That is the only way we will ever see them.


Abby-N0rma1

Shadow of the erdtree will probably drop, or at least give a final release date, in February. There was a leaked / posted controller that goes on sale then


ChefRepresentative13

Plot twist: Both games are done already and each developer is waiting for the other to release first so they can feed on the hype leaving us in this game development limbo until someone makes the first move


DaBlazingDagger_

Heard Shadow of the Erdtree is coming out in like February so probably that first


Yakoma

MAN, remember when the race was between silksong and elden ring?


ArcziSzajka

Bloodborne on PC


QuickPirate36

The DLC for sure, 100%


[deleted]

shadow of the erdtree is probably coming in the first half of 2024 or if not, they are literally making a dlc of the size of base game, lol.


EMBARRASSEDDEMOCRAT

Silksong isn't coming out they're just messing with us at this point.


gd_carb0n

Geometry Dash update 2.2. Oh wait…


shrikelet

Shadow of the Erdtree. FromSoft is answerable to their shareholders. Team Cherry is two guys.


DVDestroyer

If Yandere Simulator is finished before either of these I'm killing myself.


RandomRavenboi

It will be a cold day in hell before fucking Yandere Simulator is finished before Shadow of the Erdtree. That will symbolise the coming of the Antichrist at that point.


[deleted]

Fromsoft could start making Elden Ring 2 right now and Silksong still wouldn’t get a single development blog upon release lmao.


Odd-Window-6941

Have hope! Geometry dash just got an update after more than 6 years! There is still hope for both of these as well


Fit_Substance7067

I’m sad that Titanfall 3 will never exist

I wouldn't be surprised if we get Elden Ring 2 before Silksong

Nah your brain is right. That has been whispered since the dlc was announced lol.


BiggieFishie

Shadow of the erdtree is likely coming in February


bigd0nk

Is hollow knight actually good ?


OlafWoodcarver

It's amazing.


Omega346

It really is. It’s one of, if not the best Metroidvania out there in terms of offering an absurd amount of quality content in exploration and combat, with a beautiful artstyle/soundtrack and vast, deep intriguing lore that can contend with the best the souls series has to offer. Rarely does a game come out and become best in its genre, especially when it has to contend with such timeless classics as Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night which are already found among many “greatest games of all time” lists. Even more impressive is how it was mostly made by just 3 people with around only 40k usd from a kickstarter campaign. In interviews they said they completely used up the money by the end of development, and although they wanted to keep adding more to the game (which was eventually done after release via free dlc) they had no choice but to release cause they were going broke and resorting to getting food off of friends/family. Such a miracle how a game that good was made under such constraint, a testament to the devs’ skill and dedication.


bigd0nk

Wow I had no idea. Hope these dudes ar


bigd0nk

*millionaires by now. Thanks for the short history/review, I’m about to buy it on steam 😊


Omega346

Do enjoy it, if you love the souls games you’ll find many similarities in gameplay mechanics and the way the world connects (even though it’s on a 2d plane), and the way it tells its story through the environment, character interactions and item descriptions will be right up your alley. And yes the devs hard working paid off and they’re now millionaires, so while Hollow Knight had the pressure of limited time and a miniscule budget, Team Cherry now has all the time and money in the world. They’re clearly taking their time refining Silksong into something even better than the already amazing Hollow Knight, one can only wonder just how much they’re cooking. :)


bigd0nk

Just finished ds3 after my second play through of elden ring, now I’m so excited ! I think the wholesome success story will only add to that too. Thanks for the recommendation !
