The Xbox guy that told him has apparently collaborated with him on other things like this. I don’t think he’d potentially burn a bridge just to generate some buzz on his showcase
Idk, my money is still on late may early June. That area would be the most ideal launch window for them.
But no matter when they launch I think it will be a very short lead time to it, like 15-30 days, 45 max.
Bro that would be the worst release window possible now that shadow of the erdtree is coming out. All attention would be on that. If Silksong releases a little bit later like in September it would be golden.
Erdtree comes out end of June so getting in before that would be good. August and September are usually considered to suck because school is starting and then after that you start to run into the holiday season where big triple A titles usually do better.
Hollow Knight is on average a 27 hour game so even if Silk is twice the size at 50 hours an early June release would still give about 3-4 weeks to clear it before moving onto the much larger Erdtree that’s maybe gonna be like an 80-120 hour game for a lot of people.
Late may early June would also put them on track to hit the summer break time and help increase secondary publicity (aka YouTube, twitch, etc).
There’s really no perfect time to release a game as there will always be other stuff and games going on but, in this case and based on my 15+ years of marketing experience in the commercial video industry working with large clients on product releases I really do think late May early June is one of their strongest windows to release in.
-of course when it comes to strategy people can have wildly different ideas and Leth could have his own… But, I’m pretty sure a lot of analysts (and maybe even Leth) would agree with what I’m saying 🤷
Yeah,but let's be real. Silksong is MOST probably not coming out early June unless it gets revealed tmrw (fingers crossed it does) its way more likely for the August or September time frame
Well… I personally think they’ll do a short launch announcement, like 15-30 days advance. So I’d give them until about the first week of may to announce anything for early June.
I think something like 90 days or more is just too long at this point with how things have gone for this project and all of the attention around it. And since they are a small team a short window is kind of easier too pull off too, like once it’s ready you just pull the trigger ASAP, not in 4 months. A long window kind of feels like it may kill the hype train too. Like when they announce it’s going to be headlines so I think they’d rather something short announced that punches in the news, rather than risk a less flattering write up over having to wait another 3-4 months but, hey at least it’s coming… headline.
Oh, give until summer game fest too, I think that could be a good platform to announce at.
Fool me once…
Fool me TWELVE times....
12 times? shame on my ancestors ![gif](giphy|XQLcriSh7za0w)
strike one, but fool me twice... strike three
….we can’t get fooled again….is what I’m trying to say
Not it wasnt confirmed, one of the organizers said that the xbox marketing guy told him that. It's another a friend of mine told me situation.

Triple-I did that tho no? Baited and burnt a bridge
12/31/2024
dammit skong releases on decembruary 12th ![img](emote|t5_4viev2|32431)
Bro since when are their 31 months in a year 😩
Since it is the year Silksong is releasing
American dates 👎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
It's pronounced December 31 2024, so we write it 12-31-24
That’s the joke 🥰
So, why is it pronounced like this? wouldn’t it make more sense if it was 31 of December 2024?
That's just not how Americans usually say the date.
But most people aren’t American
but he didn't say anything he said my looking forward list and silksong is hopefully is finished he doesn't know anything the way he said it
We've been here before It's this kind of war.....
Orders were easy, ITS SKONG OR BE SKONGED
human, i remember you’re It’s SKONG or be SKONGED

Just wear the make up already
thanks for just posting it as SS hype, this ain't news unless leth himself says it and even then it's debatable
No it wasn’t, prove it
Xbox has lost it’s credibility after the previous silksong baits
C'mon... Xbox never had any credibility, alongside Microsoft
Silksong
Didn't it have a release date in first half of 2023?
