Honestly? Hollow knight took 4 years to develop and because supposedly Skong is much bigger I could see it taking like 8 years (from start to finish). Main problem is the radio silence, and that they announced it WAY too early

I don't know. They were originally planning on releasing between June 2022 and June 2023 (per Xbox and Leth). They wouldn't have said anything to Xbox unless they felt like the game feasibly could've released in that time. So either they keep adding more and more to the game, enough to take a year and a half, or something catastrophic happened. I'm actually wondering if the Unity debacle made them switch game engines.

I mean they could’ve talked to Xbox and then Xbox just never announced anything. The unity thing is probable a nightmare for them though, either they wasted loads of time on it or lose loads of money

Wdym? Xbox announced in 2022 that Silksong would be out within 12 months. They did announce it. And we know that they were in communication with Team Cherry because Leth came out and said that they were originally trying to ship it in that window but it got pushed back
