Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make
In the end Team Cherry, being a tiny team, just needed time to develop the game. It would be nice if a certain contingent of gamers internalized that games take time, some times a lot of time, to develop, but I suspect many will continue to chase conspiracy stories and rage against devs …

I'm happy for the Silksong fans finally getting their game. I'm also ready for them to chill out.

Conspiracy theory time: Silksong and the Switch 2 will be announced at the same time. The problem is Nintendo is waiting for Team Cherry to announce the Silksong launch date so that they can piggyback the Switch 2 announcement onto that, and Team Cherry is waiting for Nintendo to announce the successor to the Switch to piggyback a Silksong launch …
