Hollow Knight : Silksong delayed

[John Elden Ring]

“Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong,” he wrote. “We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.

“Expect more details from us once we get closer to release.”

Again: Better delayed than Redfall'd.

Xbox curse strikes again.

Why this only happen with games tied to Xbox?

This could've been put forward like "Silksong gets a release window: 2H 2023" but noooOOOOOOOOOooooooooo

Ark 2 and now this. Are there any other 3rd party day one gamepass games that have received delays? I wonder if they are trying to renegotiate their contract now that its official, public knowledge that gamepass destroys sales? Maybe they felt like they were lied to and want a new contract or want out altogether now?

TBH, I thought this game was vaporware for the longest time. At least I have time to play the first game.

What? It’s coming out everywhere.

 

[KnittedKnight]

I've yet to get to this game... low priority on my backlog for years now.

It is timed exclusive.
It will release first on PC, Xbox and Switch.
After it will come to PS.

At least that is how it was before these delays.

I tried the first one for $5 and it straight up bored me to tears. the massive cult behind this game confuses me, and this comes from a massive Iga fan.

Are you sure about that? I don't remember any mention of that and I can't find any references to that fact. Seems like it's day and date everywhere, but just on Game Pass at launch.

Yeah I thought it was a slog to play through. Couldn't finish it, it was WAY too big, slow, and tedious. And, like you apparently, I love Metroidvanias.

Great atmosphere for the most part though.
