Every time I discuss Silksong, I feel I am edging closer to madness. Each piece begins the same—reminding everyone that this game was originally announced in 2019. It was meant to launch within a year in 2022, yet fans found themselves waiting three more years for a brief clip during a 2025 Nintendo Direct that merely confirmed a release date with no further details.

Recently, however, there have been fresh updates on SteamDB that could indicate something significant is happening. Changes reported by astute gaming watchers like Wario64 on X have caused a buzz on Silksong subreddit, sparking widespread speculation.

Notably, the introduction of achievement languages points toward a potential game completion, as such decisions typically mean developers are confident about the game’s final structure without expecting major revisions. Additional updates regarding game depots also suggest something substantial is underway, especially considering the last depot change was back in 2019 during the initial announcement.

Some speculate that this might hint at a surprise reveal connected to Summer Games Fest, where numerous trailers and events are anticipated. A sudden shadow drop could be the ultimate way for Team Cherry to appease eager fans, as excitement mounts for what’s next.
