As you might have noticed—, but also by the loud, incredible din of a thousand gamers, once dying of thirst, now given a single drop of water—Silksong has an official release year, and it's this one.
This marks a final (hopefully final) end to a six-year long saga filled with [[link]] delays, , and over 2,239 days of waiting. Three years since the last proper footage, and now it's finally happening. Silksong is happening.
I have never heard someone so thoroughly excited to see a videogame character slide down a slope. His eagle eye, doubtless trained on years of staring at Nintendo Directs, also notices a fourth, secret, blurry clip of Hornet fighting a "massive bug". He adds: "THIS IS THE END! THE END! , IT WAS NOT A LIE, IT WAS REAL! And the , that was also real. We WON. WE WON!"
It's scarcely been a few hours since the news dropped, and already post confirming the release year has over 100,000 likes and counting. Over on the r/Silksong subreddit, things are proceeding about as normally as you might expect.
"THEY CALLED US MADMEN. People got distracted, they faltered. But from the start, I knew William meant it, I knew Leth was doing damage control. And any announcements before today were not Silksong," , who held out hope over the chocolate cake thing—long story. "Because they were not [[link]] April 2."
"ARE THEY INSANE? HOW COULD THEY JUST RANDOMLY SHOW A FEW SECONDS OF IT IN A COLLAGE?" Roars . "So funny dude, a three second clip in a montage casually announcing this sh*t after six years," . The memes, naturally, are also top-tier. Just look at this thing. It's like one of those written in all UN languages.

So—what's next? Well, there's going to be a and, considering the small nature of the news, there's already some buzzing about all-new gameplay potentially springing forth from that. I do find it a little funny that, even with confirmation of Silksong's arrival this year, that the hope-addled masses have still managed to conjure a date to place their hopes and dreams in. Never change, skongers—and enjoy this victory, you've all very much earned it.
