Crowsworn’s release is still a long ways away.

And no need to worry; Silksong is still in development.

— Matthew Griffin (@griffinmatta) March 15, 2024

This reaffirms what Griffin said in an interview last August when he mentioned he played a build of the game.

Hang in there Hollow Knight fans 😊

For those interested, this is an interview with Matthew ‘Leth’ Griffin, PR for Team Cherry from this past August 2023. Go to 1:43:07 for a discussion of the Silksong "delay".

He mentions that:

  • There is a perception of a delay due to an assumed release date of 12 June 2023 which was in turn only based on the tentative launch window they gave Microsoft and didn't meet. Team Cherry had never actually set an official release date.
  • Team Cherry has a tendency to keep adding to the game, as they did with Hollow Knight.
  • Silksong is still in development, it does exist and will release.
  • Leth has played a current build of the game, and was on his second play-through at the time of the interview.
  • Launch news will come directly from Team Cherry.

Lol, another Nintendo Direct and Silksong in absentia once again. One day I'll be wrong and it will be featured. Not today though, not today.
