It is April Fools’ Day, so in fact a brand new retailer itemizing has appeared for the long-awaited however nonetheless ephemeral Hollow Knight: Silksong. The timing of the itemizing additional solidifies the sensation that the sport is rarely popping out and is definitely only a merciless hoax perpetrated in opposition to all those that cherished Hollow Knight, which is mainly everybody.
The Silksong itemizing popped up right this moment on Xbox.com, and though it seems regular sufficient, that is April 1–a day notorious for online game firms taking part in ridiculous pranks on their audiences. Whereas these jokes are often enjoyable, it could typically be laborious to inform the distinction between joke and actuality, and as Silksong was first revealed in 2019 and nonetheless has no agency launch date, one can not help however really feel as if they’re being personally dunked on by Workforce Cherry.
After all, that is most likely only a common retailer itemizing, with publishing timing that’s fully arbitrary, though it may be entertaining to invest that it could be one thing. Whereas Xbox.com acquired a brand new retailer itemizing for the sport, the Hollow Knight: Silksong itemizing on the Nintendo eShop has been round for some time, they usually’re an identical. So this most likely doesn’t suggest that any Silksong launch information is imminent. However hey, a brand new retailer itemizing at the very least means it isn’t canceled!
Then once more, the final time we acquired a recent take a look at Silksong, again in 2022, it was throughout an Xbox showcase. May that imply that there actually is a few recent new info to be gleaned from this retailer itemizing? Did Workforce Cherry and Xbox maybe collude to publish the webpage on April 1, the one day of the yr each firms knew for a reality that journalists can be thrown off the despatched? Are they utilizing our expertise with years of horrible April Fools’ Day pranks in opposition to us, with the intention to ship a secret message to the gaming public that Silksong is imminent? Is all of it a conspiracy?
I imply, most likely not, nevertheless it’s enjoyable to interrupt out the crimson string from time to time.
