Finally, some concrete news on Silksong—2025 can't come soon enough It's cool to see Team Cherry sticking to their roots with that gorgeous art style while expanding to multiple platforms. Switch 2 getting Silksong is a nice bonus, but I’m just relieved it’s not an exclusive—more players get to enjoy Hornet’s adventure without needing the latest hardware.
