![]() ![]() Instead, Team Cherry should follow the approach Nintendo is taking with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and keep trailers sparse prior to release and let the game speak for itself. It would be a shame for Team Cherry to give into the pressure to show more of Silksong only to have it disappoint eager fans. A similar situation happened with Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League where a disappointing gameplay showcase from a highly-regarded developer after years of waiting for their new project suddenly halted all momentum the game had going for it. Having gone this long without substantial gameplay footage sets the expectations for the game quite high, but releasing an underwhelming or in-development trailer could cause the mountain of hype to come crumbling down. However, amid the fan pressure to show more from the game, Team Cherry needs to hold strong until it is completely ready or risk not only hurting Silksong's impressions but those of indie gaming as a whole. As it approaches the one-year mark from that presentation and no word on a release date for Silksong has been announced, many fans are beginning to worry about the status of the game. Silksong last reared its head at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in June 2022 where it was claimed that all titles shown during the presentation would release within a year.

As has become a common issues with many AAA titles in recent years, pre-release trailers and marketing for a game can set fan expectations for better or for worse, which has been the case for titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Redfall. Modern games need to tread carefully with what they reveal prior to release and when as it can ultimately influence the public's perception of a title before it's released. While the game is slated to release sometime later this year, the lack of information from developer Team Cherry has some fans worried, but it could end up working in the game's favor in the long run. ![]() After the critical success of the original Hollow Knight led it to become the indie darling of the gaming community, Hollow Knight: Silksong captured the attention of many when it was first announced in 2019, but has seen sparse details in the years since that initial reveal. Few games have been as hyped up as Hollow Knight: Silksong in recent years, and even fewer have been indie games.
