The Wait for Silksong Continues: No Update at Gamescom Opening Night Live

The gaming industry thrives on hype, anticipation, and sometimes, unfulfilled promises. From E3 to Gamescom, gamers eagerly await announcements and updates about their favorite games. However, some fans can take it too far, as seen in the case of Hollow Knight’s sequel, Silksong.

Silksong Fans’ Desperation Reaches New Heights

Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live at Gamescom has addressed the expectations of Silksong fans ahead of the event, stating that there will be no updates on the game. This decision was made to manage the expectations of fans who have been waiting for any news about the game since its announcement in 2019.

Managing Expectations

The community has been in a state of despair with every Nintendo Direct and State of Play where Silksong goes unmentioned. The desperation has led to some fans lashing out at others who try to offer a more positive outlook on the game’s development. Keighley’s decision to address the fans directly is an attempt to mitigate this negativity.

The lack of updates on Silksong has led to frustration among fans. In the five years since the game’s announcement, updates have been scarce. While Team Cherry is known for taking their time to develop games, the infrequent updates have led to a sense of exhaustion among fans. A more regular update schedule would likely help alleviate this frustration.

For now, fans will have to wait a little longer for any news on Silksong. As the gaming community knows, patience is a virtue, and sometimes, good things come to those who wait.
