The latest activity on Silksong’s SteamDB page has caught the attention of many. Notable changes include a copyright update moving from 2019 to 2025, and the game being listed as compatible with NVIDIA’s GeForce Now, the cloud gaming service. Additionally, there have been some minor modifications to the game’s Steam library assets.
On the surface, these changes might appear trivial. But for a game that has been surrounded by mystery and anticipation for over six years, even the smallest movement feels monumental. Fans have learned to read between the lines. The fact that Silksong was recently referenced in an Xbox blog post—alongside games that have confirmed release dates, trailers, and real news—has only amplified the speculation and noise.
A Community Gripped by Hope and Humor
This latest flurry of updates has reignited discussions across online communities, particularly on the Silksong subreddit. One enthusiastic user claimed with certainty that the community was indeed “skonging” hard in response to the news—an expression that has become a kind of rallying cry for the fandom’s emotional highs and lows.
Another user, marked as a skeptic, stated that something within them felt different. They admitted they might be starting to believe in the game’s imminent arrival. Their post took a humorous turn, echoing the internal conflict of a comic book villain, before concluding with a trio of Red Dead Redemption 2 memes suggesting that resistance to change—or to hope—was futile. The only thing missing, joked another commenter, was a Hornet-themed mask draped over a chair for dramatic effect.
The Existential Depth of Skonging
Among all the chatter, one discussion thread stood out for its almost philosophical reflection on the community’s journey. A self-described devoted fan expressed concern that when real news about Silksong finally drops—or if the game actually releases—the most committed members of the fandom might lose their edge and return to everyday life. Another commenter chimed in with the idea that a true follower doesn’t require new posts or updates to sustain belief—they simply remember the game through instinct and passion.
Is This Really Something, or Just More Noise?
Even as logical minds insist that a few tweaks on a Steam page don’t necessarily indicate progress, the emotional undercurrent tells a different story. Past hints and theories—like the infamous “cake” post—have all turned out to be dead ends. But still, each tiny signal reignites belief. At this point, skepticism and optimism are in constant conflict, but many are choosing to lean into the latter, just for the sake of hope.
Persistence That Refuses to Fade
Throughout all the silence and speculation, one thing has remained clear: the dedication of Silksong’s community is unwavering. The sheer volume of memes, discussions, and hopeful analysis produced over the years is a testament to their resolve. It’s difficult not to be moved by it. After all, creating content, speculation, and conversation for over 1,400 days doesn’t happen without a deep-rooted belief that something—eventually—is coming.
