Game dev promises free game if Silksong shows up at Nintendo Direct Team CherryOne game developer has upped the stakes for Nintendo\u2019s next Direct by promising gamers a free copy of their game if Silksong appears during the livestream. Guateke Studios\u2019 founder Pere Albacar made the pledge on X\/Twitter, stipulating that users only needed to respond to their initial comment to be eligible for a free copy of Sands of Hope. Considering the post has since gone viral, Team Cherry\u2019s Metroidvania sequel to Hollow Knight showing up on the presentation will leave Albacar footing the bill for over 10,000 Steam keys. Responses to the proposition have wasted no time pointing out the spendy bet. \u201cYour finances are RUINED,\u201d one comment reads, adding \u201cAnyway, I\u2019ll take a copy as well thanks.\u201d To their credit, Albacar has taken the potential backfire in their stride with light-hearted responses to others pointing out how many Sands of Hope copies they\u2019d have to give away, should Silksong make an appearance. Chances are, there\u2019s nothing for Albacar to worry about. Announced back in 2019, Silksong was originally intended to be DLC for Hollow Knight. As the project grew in scope, Team Cherry decided to make it a standalone title but has shared little about the project since, besides sporadic gameplay trailers. Team Cherry has given no indication that Silksong will be present during the June 18 Nintendo Direct. Considering the disappointment felt by fans when it was confirmed to be a no-show at Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Showcase on June 9, hope is always a double-edged sword where the indie darling is concerned. However, we do know that this Nintendo Direct will run for roughly 40 minutes and feature no mention of the Switch\u2019s successor.
