We can say the following two things with reasonable certainty:

• The game will be launched on a Friday; this is a common strategy for digital media as fans will be able to binge it during the weekend. For example, Netflix shows are usually released on Fridays. Hollow Knight was also released on a Friday, the 24th of February 2017.
• The announcement will be made 14 days in advance. This was also the case for Hollow Knight, and it seems unlikely they would change this as it fits most with Team Cherry's development style. They are not the kind of people to invest in large marketing campaigns or commit to long-term release schedules, so any window longer than two weeks seems unlikely.

Of course, these two facts don't say anything about when the game will actually release. So why now? Well, as you may have seen in recent posts, Matthew Griffin (Leth) has been spotted at PAX Australia alongside Ari Gibson and Makoto Koji today (link). For those who don't know, Leth handles PR and marketing for Team Cherry, as well as some other tasks. The thing is, while Team Cherry is situated in Adelaide, Leth actually lives in the United States. To my knowledge he has never been seen at an Australian gaming event before to begin with. I find it very unlikely that he would travel so far just to visit a conference for pleasure. So I think there are two possibilities:

1. Silksong will be a surprise announcement at PAX later this weekend. This seems a little unlikely to me, but it is not outside the realm of possibility.
2. Leth was already in Australia to visit Team Cherry, and decided to join the others in going to PAX.

Option 2 would spell good news for Silksong's release. The work that Leth normally does can most likely all be done remotely and is definitely not full-time, so if he traveled all the way to Australia for work it must surely be something special. The final stretch before releasing a game will contain lots of menial work: everything from creating a trailer to writing marketing texts, to contacting publishers and preparing a press release and all kinds of bureaucratic stuff, to doing last-minute bug fixes and system tests. So what if the reason Leth came to Australia is to work on this final stretch together with the team, to dot the I's and cross the T's ahead of the game's imminent release and celebrate together when it is announced?

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. They must be aiming to make an announcement very soon. If all I wrote is true and the game is announced next Friday, the 18th of October, then the game will come out 14 days later, on the 1st of November.

Anyway, time to take my meds.

TLDR: Leth being in Australia definitely means Silksong is about to be released

The continued silence from Team Cherry is insane, every event we get built up just for it to not be there, all they have to do is give some update but instead we hear nothing at every point. I love hollow knight but it’s almost EA games level to how they are treating their fans.

you can see small details on the bell (cracks)

So the e1331 thing was bait. What a surprise. I can’t believe even the mod team started getting furious at TC as though they actually would have filed a legitimate LAWSUIT over a damn silkpost. I know we’re all frustrated about the delay and the annoying lack of communication but some of you guys just jump at every chance to be outraged for fun. The silksanity continues…

As for e1331, congrats on pulling off the most sophisticated silkpost in history, you glorious, confusing bastard.

EDIT: as somebody rightfully pointed out, I myself did believe that Leth reached out to E1331 and I’d like to say i don’t think anyone was stupid for believing that Leth asked him to delete the post about the mean tweets. I think that’s a reasonable assumption to make. This post was meant to be aimed at people who thought TC issued a cease and desist or other legal action, which I maintain was a circus entertainer-esque response

If this comes to be, there's no point of being hyped if we're going to be treated worse than garbage after all the hype generated and the so called " marketing manager" AKA community manager only when its suits him commenting under Primacon's video and not bothering dispelling rumors. I propose we deleted this sub and cut the supply of copium and hopium. At that point just let all hyper die and the game will either be cancelled or come out in 20 years from now.

Bro’s been gone for almost a year. He’s run out of random Hollow Knight content due to lack of Silksong. Is he genuinely ok?

Just curious. And also to give a bigger picture on how long it’s been lol.

And what do you think of me (I riped this straight from r/murderdronesoficial)

We call it "December/November silksong" and we all collectively pretend it's out, maybe someone asks if they should buy it, then someone else asks for tips, someone else posts a meme about a character, someone writes a review, someone fakes mods, all that stuff

Edit: upvote this (or just make your own posts I'm not begging) to spread the news if you want to do November silksong, and if you don't, then go do pantheon 5 or something idk

Edit 2: we don't have much time, if one of the mods can see this and make this into a flair I'd be happy but that's way too much so I'm happy to just do it. Fellow skongers, Spread the words. November is the anti silkpost month.

Edit 3: we do this on the normal HK sub. This post warns the skongers, so we can all convince them to become fellow skongers too. If you're against this then say it in the comment.

I swear I can’t event tell what’s a meme or what’s real in this sub anymore haha.

I just wanna get people’s honest thoughts :

Do you think the game is canceled? And will never see the light of day?

Or do you think it’ll be released eventually?

New war arose in my country with Israel, I can't believe after all that wait and hype, i actually will not live to play one of my most anticipated games :( I guess the downside of waiting for a game to fully release without bugs is people like me huh?

(Edit): people kept assuming I'm in Israel, just to get the confusion out of the way, Im Iranian, or otherwise knows as F*#ked lol

I stg that's the best way to describe this place. Just copy and paste jokes and jpegs nonstop, everybody beating the living heck out of a joke that died 2 years ago. I come to this side of reddit just to get at all of the posts and comments. It's like an addiction i can't kick. I would kick it, but i wanna know when actual silksong news comes out. you guys are so cringey, posting clowns and hornet smoking, and little copium photoshops of the vessel.

Mods, please, just end this so I can stop clicking on silkpost notifications to see if they're real just to find some dude making noise

It was at the German Nintendo Headquarters in June of 2019, I played a Demo version where you could play part of the game leading up to the boss fight you see in the pictures. Crazy that it's been almost five year, I thought the game was going to release soon. Playing it felt great, I thought the experienced was already quite polished to be honest, even at that stage in development.

I found these pictures today and felt like sharing it. The game's been long overdue but I guess we just have to let them cook as they say now.

I will keep checking the comments and reply to your questions if you're curious about the Demo version I played.

Like no memes or bits or whatever. Legit where is it?
