That all changed with the release of an even more polished gameplay trailer which hints at an imminent release. This is the first news regarding Silksong in years, the last time being at E3 in 2019! Fans of the series had been long awaiting news of the game, and they were extremely disappointed when the marketing coordinator for the game, David Griffin, said in 2021 that there would be no news surrounding the game’s development at E3 that year. Team Cherry and the developers put out the trailer detailing new features, movements and a beautiful game setting for the upcoming game. This time they released the gameplay trailer for the highly-anticipated Hollow Knight sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong. But with enough copium, you can convince yourself that a Nintendo Direct is coming in the next few months that will surely have big Silksong news.The Xbox and Bethesda Showcase has been a smorgasbord of news for different studios and games that are to be released in the near future, and Microsoft is continuing to spew out content. If you look at the history of past directs linked above, I'd guess late February to early March for the next one based on the timing of the last 3, but that's of course just a guess. When is the next Nintendo Direct? No one has any idea. If you have enough copium, this could also explain Team Cherry's silence, no need to ruin the suspense if a new trailer is coming somewhat soon. My theory then is that the next Nintendo Direct is highly likely to have new Silksong footage, hopefully the release date trailer. There was then no news at The Game Awards, but Nintendo was completely absent from that event so it makes sense. It would have been weird for Nintendo to let Silksong, a larger and cheaper metroidvania than Metroid Dread, steal some of its thunder right before release. However, this direct was hyping up Metroid Dread, which was releasing just 16 days later on October 8th. We got our hopes up during the last direct on. You can see a history of Nintendo's previous directs here. My point here is just that it seems very unlikely Hollow Knight would be at one of Nintendo's Indie Directs, it has gotten too big for that, and previous Nintendo Silksong news has never been at an Indie Direct in the past. Given that the game was free on Playstation Plus in Nov 2020, and the bump it had in popularity when a bunch of popular twitch speedrunners like SmallAnt and PointCrow were streaming it recently, I assume it has sold a good deal more since the last sales reported almost 2 years ago. According to wikipedia here, last sales reported were over 2.8 million in Feb 2019. Now, Hollow Knight has of course been very successfully for an indie game. Team Cherry has had various direct updates in the past (blogposts, Edge magazine), but as far as I am aware Team Cherry's direct updates never have footage, they are development updates with screenshots and not big reveals. So it is highly probably that the release date trailer will be revealed by Nintendo. The trailer, treehouse gameplay, demo, are all on Nintendo's channel. The Nintendo Switch is the only console Silksong is confirmed to be releasing on at launch. So far, all actual footage for Silksong has been released by Nintendo. Here is my new personal 100% copium theory for why we are getting Silksong news soon. r/demonssouls /r/darksouls /r/darksouls2 /r/darksouls3 /r/bloodborne /r/saltandsanctuary /r/castlevania /r/metroid Ultra-high-resolution Interactive Hallownest Map at with downloads and making-of videos.These sites have cool Hollow Knight content!
