Staff Cherry did not say something itself, nevertheless, leaving some hypothesis round its launch date.
The fervor has reached a fever-pitch in latest weeks, as the sport was revealed to be playable at Gamescom, and Geoff Keighley teased with some new footage at Gamescom Opening Evening Dwell yesterday. The group round Silksong has turned the lengthy anticipate a launch date into a meme through the years, getting labored up over chocolate cake recipes and metaphorically “placing on clown make-up” each time a new showcase dropped.
Congrats to the Silksong lovers. Silksong is lastly Silksoon.
