February 14th 2019 was when Hollow Knight: Silksong was revealed to the world and since then it has been 5 years with the current date being January 5th, 2025. It took 3 years for Hollow Knight to be made, and from what I remember people were saying is that Silksong is going to be "2 times bigger" than Hollow Knight so it will take more time to be developed. We can conclude that if Silksong really is 2 times bigger then the development time should be around 6 years when it releases, so Silksong will either come out in the end of this year at December 2025, January-February of 2026, or somewhere in/close to 2027. I don't have any hope of Silksong releasing and I don't think it ever will if this post has given you hope, I'm sorry, but it probably has not. Have a good rest of your year and may we all stop checking our wishlists and staring at the store page.

2025 is very unlikely, but 2026 is definitely possible

You are kinda forgetting that for their second game almost all of the tools and framework were already made, and they should have had more experience working in unity and making games, specifically 2d platformers. Also more funds. If anything it could have probably been made twice as fast even if it was twice as large.

Yeah I forgot about that so Id say that Silksong should've come out awhile ago, maybe late 2021 or early 2024? Since its still not out yet the only thing I can come up with is that team cherry is adding like triple or more content than Hollow Knight had, or the games just never coming out which I kinda believe at this point.
