I swear to God when (if) Silksong comes out and it isn't the 11/10 most people are expecting the entire fandom will collapse upon itself, creating a black hole that destroys the hype for any indie game that takes over 3 years.
I'm prepared for it to be as good if not better than the original Hollow Knight. Judging by the footage we have so far, it looks like a game that I will *REALLY* enjoy.
@@HarryButHarryfully agree, I don’t understand the doom posters at all. Like they’ll say “what if it’s not good”, but we’ve seen projects like horo nite solksing (yes that’s its name lol) copy the games features and mechanics at an amateur level and result in an extremely fun game that’s only a little less fun then hollow knight due to janky ness. Team cherry would have to remove all the currently shown mechanics and practically change the genre of the game for this to not go just as well all Hollow Knight. Assuming they haven’t had a stroke and still have a similar level of map design, the game is guaranteed to be equivalent
Id be happy if I could play the demo alone lol, just sitting in moss grotto, listening to the music would make me very happy. although of course the full game would be better by like a lot, there's no way I'll be disappointed with the result of the game. I'm expecting it to be better than hk for sure but not by that much, a bigger hollow knight essentially I'm still very hyped as I was since I saw the trailer if not more
It honestly wouldn't even need to be as good as Hollow Knight to be an automatic day-1 buy for me. 11/10 is absurd and I don't think reflects the actual expectation of most people who are genuinely excited for the game. I think there is a good chance it will be at least more polished than HK was, even if not necessarily 'better', but it could be noticeably worse and still be categorically great.
@@Ichthyodactyl even if it does end up "worse" it's still 1.5 times the size of hk minimum so im sure that there will be at least some areas better, like moss grotto, just from the demo, trailer and screenshot it's my favorite spot in silksong and rivals greenpath if not better cause it's larger
I wish Cherry would communicate with people more. They could do what is Toby Fox doing by sending newsletters to inform his fans about Deltarune new chapters progress.
I don't think that it woukd be necessairly good. Yeah, communication is important, but developers being able to do what they want without having the pressure of expectations is something really underappreciated.
@mo-b1354 The gameplay, etc. that they've shown so far looks like a genuine improvement on Hollow Knight. The content of the game is what has me excited - of course I'd be more hyped if they were communicating more.
Song. Silk now song. Song! Song give silk! Give skilkskong. Song now. Songs now. Give me the sliksojg. Silksong now give. Silksong give me. SILKSONGS ME NOW
My personal concern is that Silksong might be too complicated for the average person. I'm a very casual gamer. I loved Hollow Knight because of its simplicity, methinks. You just have the knight who swings the nail and has the spells, and that's about all you need to know! Meanwhile, it seems like there's a LOT to know about hornet. Navigating her seems like it was made for people who have been gaming at a more "intermediate" level for a while. Other than that, though, I am EXTREMELY excited for the game!
I’m assuming that Silksong is gonna start off like the original Hollow Knight, you start off with the basic tools that you need to navigate the current area and then you’ll slowly unlock more and more throughout the game. It’s basic Metroidvania gameplay loop, get more, unlock more areas, win game.
It might be mostly like normal Hollow Knight, in that while you technically have spells and charms and nail arts that can completely change how you play the game, all you will really need to succeed is good nail swings and some time. I doubt anything in Silksong will *require* the use of specialized combat abilities, but still lets them be available and viable for those people who would like to experiment or do fancy tricks
@@Shuffles_ArtI second this, I believe it'll be more or less the same progression concept as hollow knight like you said, but as we know, it will be bigger and greater. Not to mention there will likely be more backtracking with quests etc, like how we see Shakra in the entrance to that one city and in another gif we see the fleas and those fellas, it's the same area, so it's likely you meet Shakra first then upon finding an amount of fleas the owners of the fleas or whatnot hop by cause they see the fleas group up near by and by then shakra is already gone or in another village/area because you met her beforehand etc' Theres also the mossy village where you see the skull king in trailer but shakra in a screenshot Furthermore I like to believe TC saw what speedrunning looked like and decided to make silksong more speedrun friendly, such as what people have already caught on to from the demo that moss mother [theory] is likely skippable since it's only activatable by stepping or destroying the moss sapling/cocoon things. That would split speedrunning bosses and ending to different categories probably more interractable that way as I'm sure there are some secret bosses too(might be going too far with it at this point lol) Making the game balanced with being friendly towards speedrunners, new players and experienced (?) Could be, challenging (and perhaps why the game is taking so long).. hollow knight executed this really well but probably not that intentional so they'll likely refine it much more this time Finally It's also nice to think that from the one area where we see that hornet kills that big monster and it shows what the community believes to be the alternative to the hunter (the symbol in bottom left) im sure you recall, anyways so since there's lots of backtracking you won't have to worry about filling the [parallel to the journal] with all the quests and whatnot it will perhaps even make it unnoticeable, unlike in hollow knight where you (might have) needed to bench -> kill enemy -> bench again to refresh spawn -> repeat -> fill journal (I may or may not have done this a bit) Overall I think the game will have a decent amount of improvements therefore taking so long etc but really I don't expect THAT much, even if these features aren't the case and there were changes I'd still be happy. Just from the trailer we know it's gonna be amazing Btw sorry for the essay, I just LOVE silksong LOL
I have played lots of metroidvanias but this amount of complexity also confuses me. Especially the fact that tools seem to use up ressources, which is a big no no for me, since I never had know when is wize to use them, I just save them forever like the spells in hollow knight, Blasphemous, rogue legacy 2 and cards and actives from Isaac. Basically, I feel like I won't be able to use a quarter of the mechanics and will have a bland experience because of it.
@@LimboEffugiumWritter with how big the game is i find it unlikely that there won't be some passive (?) item maybe that you can use to refill your tools (with a shell shard cost ofc), otherwise, it really would be a shame to only use for an example 12 pins or triple pins etc' in a boss fight cause im sure some will take longer, perhaps you can also extend it so you can go from 12 uses to 30 uses with upgrading, then it might be worth it, we'll just have to see how it ends up
I was excited for 3 years. Team Cherry gave me enough time to not be anymore. They gave me enough time to shift my gaming itch. They gave me enough time to look forward to other games. Very few game managed to excite me as much as Silksong once did... I wish the best of luck to Team Cherry, cheers!
This gave me a better idea of just how big this game is gonna be. The different routes to choose each playthrough, the variety of playstyles, the size of the map, plus silksoul mode which is more than just permadeath mode. Man, no wonder it’s taking so long. But what hypes me the most is Team Cherry said they will not hesitate to release it when the game’s finished. So I’m 95% sure they will shadow drop the game. Based on information such as the gap between release and official trailer being more than twice as long as the previous game and the esrb rating being shown over 7 months ago when the average game releases 6 months afterwards. I have a feeling…this game could come out any moment………….and that moment is very soon.
I forgot to mention Silksoul! That just adds to the replayability even more. I'm glad my breakdown / analysis was able to help. The content we've seen so far is likely just scratching the surface of what's in the full game, so it could give a little perspective on just how HUGE the game is. While the devs are working on "cherry time" a.k.a. controlled scope creep, I do genuinely think they don't want to keep us waiting needlessly. I think they are gearing up for a release within the next year or so. Thank you for writing a constructive comment, it means a lot.
@HarryButHarry Oh wait, scratch that part about the ESRB rating, now it has been 6 months since the rating was added. The rating came out April 1st 2024. Also no problem, this game is staying on the back of my brain and I've followed Team Cherry on Twitter so I can get jumpscared by the games release!
I really don't think durability is a good idea. I have always hated durability in games and i think the only game that does it right is minecraft. There are other ways to make early game items viable in late game, like having them pair with something to make it do more damage or have more atk. speed or something like that.
Breath of the wild does it perfectly too, weapons become a resource you have to manage, discouraging mindless confrontation, but I dont think this would workfor silksong
Even minecraft needs to rework some parts of its durability system (mending enchantment being too easily accessible thus making anvils completely useless in terms of repairing items) I hate items having durability in games
I think this durability system can work, as long as it's properly balanced. Perhaps as well as durability, tools could be upgraded to allow them to still be viable late game.
An important note is that the respawn mechanic in silksong IS different from the first game and I really like how the changes sound. In hollow knight, dying generates a hostile shade that restores your currency and a third of your soul gauge when you kill it. This strongly encourages you to return to where you died otherwise you lose your money and are fighting below your best. However this can create the problem you talked about of the player feeling forced to throw themself at a hard challenge over and over again until they overcome it, because you have to go back for your money and soul gauge anyway. Later in the game you unlock Gigi, who can retrieve the shade for you from anywhere but the system is pretty rigid since she is in one fixed spot you may not be easily able to get back to and it has a cost. However, from the demo, we know that in silksong, hornet generates a cocoon upon death that fills your silk meter when destroyed. It doesn’t contain your money, or cut off your silk meter until you collect it, or attack you making a challenge that just killed you harder. This means that now the game is rewarding you for returning to your death spot instead of punishing you for not doing so. If you die to a tough boss or a difficult platforming section, you basically get a free heal you can collect at the spot you died as a boost, and if you give up and want to go somewhere else, you lose nothing for doing that. And to make up for the cocoon not saving your money, you get the rosary string system to protect your money in a new way. I’m definitely curious to feel how this new system works for myself, but on paper it sounds like it should make the challenge a bit more flexible for players who die often
Or just ignore it until it comes out. Like all you have to do is be subscribed to team cherry and youll see it when its here, its not like you need to actively engage with the community 24/7 while waiting.
Insane that you can wish Hollow Knight: Silksong will come out “this year” (after already waiting 5 years) and people will say you’re coping. Truely the ultimate wait.
I will in fact never hype up again. I gave up after summer game fest. Team cherry should realize that at some point they need to just release the game or at least keep us updated for once in there lives
I'm excited for Silksong for one very important reason... They're replacing the spells system with something far more in-depth. Skills, tools, crests, and binding all sound like amazing features to actually be able to use in combat, compared to just going underneath a giant moth and pressing Up + F.
I kinda liked it tho, nice and easy... Actually, I only used the normal nail on my first few runs because I didn't know when it was worth to cast. And I fear it will be even worse with silksong...
8:29 this is the main thing that scares me with silksong. The desolated ambiance of hollow knight was what gave it most of it's charm for me, so, inverting it completely seems a bit counterproductive
For a long time i defended team cherry, like they can and should spend as much time as they need but, they should make some kind of updates like for example toby fox, i am sorry but the lack of any information is very unprofessional from their side and it is difficult to keep the hype up if the most exiting info now is the annoucement of a gaming event like bro.
I agree with you... But, when the time come ,i.e., when it releases, many youtuber will play it and promote it anyway.... But, many people won't come back (like casual players) since the hype died a long time ago (atleast for casual players LOL)....
@@Cpt.Stickerno0dle-iu3ok fym triple it's not even taken double, hollow knight took around 4 years to make and it's been around 6 years since godmaster released.
Every few weeks another one of these pops into my recommendations and I'm immediately disappointed to see you and everyone else have nothing new to say. Consistently trying to drum up hype for this game despite not having any relevant information is honestly pretty manipulative of people's hopes. This video has Ben made tens of times and it will be made tens more by channels like you. No one has forgotten what silksong is dude.
Actually mathematically speaking, every time you say silksong it takes about 0.7 seconds, assuming silksong will release, upon every mention of 'silksong' the game becomes 0.7 seconds closer, I see this as an absolute win
I've been waiting for 6 years so I would advise that you save this hype for later. It would be a shame if you exhausted all of it right away to get discouraged in a few years. I think the wisest is to wait until 1 month before the release to fully enjoy it, however long it takes.
@@LimboEffugiumWritter good recommendation, expecting something by mid 2025 latest since it's about 1.5 times bigger, then it would likely also take 1.5 times as long to create the game statistically speaking, which is about mid 2025, if there's nothing by then, then yeah i'll stop being excited for the game and focus on other things likely until it's out, or like you say a month before or so
I have no problem with silksong taking another 2 years to release. I just wish TC would be more transparent. If the game is stuck in dev hell, tell us. Make us be part of the process. I also wish we could know where the game is at right now. As far as we know they might not even work at the game right now
Silksong was first considered a dlc character for Hollow Knight. Imagine if this became their second goal. Parhaps Silksong is finished and ready to release but now they also add the Hornet as playable in Hollow knight. This would require additional work to complete. Hollow knight DLC could serve as a "second game" for Silksong.
Yeah I don't know about you all but I actually play other games and have learned to wait patiently. When/If it comes out I will drop everything else and go at an easy pace for 2 weeks or so. I get the meme and it is a bit funny that the Silksong community is now famed for it's insanity. At the same time however y'all need to cool your jets a bit. The boycott silksong bit is a tad ridiculous. The idea that it is a betrayal from team cherry for staying quiet is absolutely insane. Go pick up another game. Better yet pick up something you can get invested in / spend a couple hundred hours sinking your teeth into like idk an mmo for example. It's not the end of the world if Silksong takes another year or two. It's not the end of the world if it never comes out. It's also not the end of the world if it comes out and is found lacking. I for one am excited to play Hollow Knight : Silksong and will continue to be so until it comes out. Sorry for the long paragraph :P

The most frustrating thing is that there's 0 indication on when the game will come out or even be shown next. There was a dumb rumor that Team Cherry did not want to release the game during the 2nd half of a calendar year which may rule out the rest of 2024. At this rate, an early 2025 release is possible, and it would make for a nice launch title alongside Switch 2 (it'll still release for Switch 1 but will be part of the Switch 2 launch hype train).
"bashing your head against a wall of a boss because you are encouraged to return and reclaim your lost currency" I feel like I've seen this system somewhere before, I wonder who would come up with such a thi- *Dark Souls Boss Music starts playing*
Listen, we knew ALL about this and we WERE all excited for years at this point but our hope has been sucked away over the years and with 2024 it is safe to say even some of the biggest fans have just lost hope Team Cherry wasted their BIGGEST time and did not say a word The excitement has just been sucked away
I'm sorry but you shouldn't be excited. They haven't said a single thing about the game it's a joke at this point for a developer to have zero communication. It'll be good but they've created a really difficult situation.
I think hollow Knight is better because it's more simple than silk song I like the simplicity of hollow Knight that is simple yet still difficult is really good also how is it going to play on mobile because hollow Knight is on mobile
The reason why i am not hyped anymore is the community with it's unfunny memes and acts of madness. I will not be hyoed until its out and i see overwhelming steam review
Guys my uncle works at Team Cherry he said the game is coming in 2069

8:29 this is the main thing that scares me with silksong.
The desolated ambiance of hollow knight was what gave it most of it's charm for me, so, inverting it completely seems a bit counterproductive
Well it *is* an entirely new story in a new map and with hornet as the star, so of course it isn’t going to be the same
@@SeasAreBlazin yes... What they did with hollow knight was so great that it almost feels absurd to go for something this different...
@@LimboEffugiumWritter idk, maybe they’ll keep some elements from the original game 🤷♂️
@@SeasAreBlazin let's hope so.

For a long time i defended team cherry, like they can and should spend as much time as they need but, they should make some kind of updates like for example toby fox, i am sorry but the lack of any information is very unprofessional from their side and it is difficult to keep the hype up if the most exiting info now is the annoucement of a gaming event like bro.
I agree with you... But, when the time come ,i.e., when it releases, many youtuber will play it and promote it anyway.... But, many people won't come back (like casual players) since the hype died a long time ago (atleast for casual players LOL)....
This video was made assuming silksong will ever come out
I hope the map will be atleast 2x the size
Really unlikely don’t get your hopes up 😅
@@jwilker94It’s taken nearly triple the amount of time Hollow Knight took and Team Cherry said it would be bigger so it wouldn’t be that surprising
@@Cpt.Stickerno0dle-iu3ok fym triple it's not even taken double, hollow knight took around 4 years to make and it's been around 6 years since godmaster released.
They DID say Silksong is gonna have over 100 benches while Hollow Knight has 41
@@dirtpig02 I’m pretty sure the main game without dlc took 2 years, and that was with huge reworking and map changes
Every few weeks another one of these pops into my recommendations and I'm immediately disappointed to see you and everyone else have nothing new to say.
Consistently trying to drum up hype for this game despite not having any relevant information is honestly pretty manipulative of people's hopes. This video has Ben made tens of times and it will be made tens more by channels like you.
No one has forgotten what silksong is dude.
Guys, you don’t understand, silksong is delayed every time someone says it name
Actually mathematically speaking, every time you say silksong it takes about 0.7 seconds, assuming silksong will release, upon every mention of 'silksong' the game becomes 0.7 seconds closer, I see this as an absolute win
Great video dude
Let’s see if Christopher can make a song better than sealed vessel
Well said harry, excited on my part :)
I've been waiting for 6 years so I would advise that you save this hype for later. It would be a shame if you exhausted all of it right away to get discouraged in a few years.
I think the wisest is to wait until 1 month before the release to fully enjoy it, however long it takes.
@@LimboEffugiumWritter good recommendation, expecting something by mid 2025 latest since it's about 1.5 times bigger, then it would likely also take 1.5 times as long to create the game statistically speaking, which is about mid 2025, if there's nothing by then, then yeah i'll stop being excited for the game and focus on other things likely until it's out, or like you say a month before or so
I have no problem with silksong taking another 2 years to release. I just wish TC would be more transparent. If the game is stuck in dev hell, tell us. Make us be part of the process. I also wish we could know where the game is at right now. As far as we know they might not even work at the game right now
thanks, i needed the copium
1:04 "new"
IDK why but I have this feeling that slick song with come out on the 9th November this year (2024).
You should have made this video when we had a release date
Why are you telling him to never make this video?
If we had a release date this video would be pointless cause we'd all be hyped more than usual
I think it would be cool to bump into the shade lord and maybe even fight him even though it’s not 100% related I think it would be fun
Back tracking is gonna go crazy
I literally just watched a video explaining how the silksong community went insane 😂😂😂
Silksong was first considered a dlc character for Hollow Knight. Imagine if this became their second goal. Parhaps Silksong is finished and ready to release but now they also add the Hornet as playable in Hollow knight. This would require additional work to complete. Hollow knight DLC could serve as a "second game" for Silksong.
0:16 BRO DIDNT SHOW ABSRAD
I heard from two guys, a Mr. Zager and a Mr. Evans, that this game will come out in a few months...and 500 years from now. In the year 2525!
Yeah I don't know about you all but I actually play other games and have learned to wait patiently. When/If it comes out I will drop everything else and go at an easy pace for 2 weeks or so. I get the meme and it is a bit funny that the Silksong community is now famed for it's insanity. At the same time however y'all need to cool your jets a bit. The boycott silksong bit is a tad ridiculous. The idea that it is a betrayal from team cherry for staying quiet is absolutely insane. Go pick up another game. Better yet pick up something you can get invested in / spend a couple hundred hours sinking your teeth into like idk an mmo for example. It's not the end of the world if Silksong takes another year or two. It's not the end of the world if it never comes out. It's also not the end of the world if it comes out and is found lacking. I for one am excited to play Hollow Knight : Silksong and will continue to be so until it comes out. Sorry for the long paragraph :P
Wo won't get official news or release date or even anything anytime soon.
But still, I'll wait patiently for it...
❤❤❤

I took on a whole new religion before this game came out, at this point I'm expecting to die before it releases.

The most frustrating thing is that there's 0 indication on when the game will come out or even be shown next. There was a dumb rumor that Team Cherry did not want to release the game during the 2nd half of a calendar year which may rule out the rest of 2024. At this rate, an early 2025 release is possible, and it would make for a nice launch title alongside Switch 2 (it'll still release for Switch 1 but will be part of the Switch 2 launch hype train).
Don’t remind me of how great the game will be. It makes me want it more when I should know that I will never get it
Get hyped? I'm not even convinced we're getting it...
it will come out in christmas

(Hollow Knight is just metroidvania Dark Souls confirmed)
This might be the most cope I've ever seen in one video
…? This is just basic known game information
Pellen told me it's back to being just a DLC
my guess is spring 2025, probably late march or early april
Nah bro never doing that again
No more cope?
No dude, it’s over..
lets give up, primadaddy said 2026 ):
@@itsfy_ lol u here too
@@Luggaxd im everywhere (:
Listen, we knew ALL about this and we WERE all excited for years at this point but our hope has been sucked away over the years and with 2024 it is safe to say even some of the biggest fans have just lost hope
Team Cherry wasted their BIGGEST time and did not say a word
The excitement has just been sucked away
If it doesn’t come out in late 2025 or earlier, I really have no hope for silksong.
Ahhhh thanks pal. Loosing hope and almost moved on with my life. Where was I? Oh yeah! SILKSONG SILKSONG LETS GO! LETS GO!
Ok one thing I want to see is references to hollownest or if it’s a sequal what happened to hollwnest
we have the same backround!
All i can say is: Let them cook.
Bro the game isn’t coming out
not with that attitude
@@HarryButHarryLMAO so true
i'm excited but team cherry needs to speak up. staying so quiet for years isn't the best look
Wait, what? W - What was Silksong again?
Yeah, I am…
And that’s the problem
Because there is a chance it releases by 2026.
no
I'm sorry but you shouldn't be excited. They haven't said a single thing about the game it's a joke at this point for a developer to have zero communication. It'll be good but they've created a really difficult situation.
Yeah it sucks but like, there's nothing wrong about being excited for it
Im hoeping for something that is just as non liniar as hk
it aint coming out lil bro
Soon™
I think hollow Knight is better because it's more simple than silk song I like the simplicity of hollow Knight that is simple yet still difficult is really good also how is it going to play on mobile because hollow Knight is on mobile
But I’m so, so tired
Team Cherry se dejó ganar de Robtop que sacó Geometry dash 2.2 y tardó años en sacarlo también
Don't do that don't give me hope
Bit short on rent this month eh?
It’s not coming October cause it will drown out the other games and movies
Dude, if you don't have a good camera just show generic gameplay the quality is realy distracting...

Become hypable.
obvious team cherry psyop
The Cope is getting really bad

Toxic positivity isn't good dude
The game is in dev idc anymore by the time it comes out hollow knight will be already dead
Video games don’t die
Copium maximus
The cope continues
The reason why i am not hyped anymore is the community with it's unfunny memes and acts of madness. I will not be hyoed until its out and i see overwhelming steam review
Copium
copium.
please dont give me hope i just wanna forget about it (until it comes out and I have an autistic hyperfixation on it)
