Silksong Will Release This Summer?

It's been 84 over 6 years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first revealed by Team Cherry, way back in February 2019. Since then, the journey to release has been a tumultuous journey for fans. However, 2025 has begun with a flurry of small, but hopeful, titbits of news. Taking this burst of news, and some older quotes from people close to the game and Team Cherry, we can speculate on a summer release. There Has Been Yes NewsPrior to the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Silksong fans had been enjoying an uncharacteristically busy period of updates. Most of what the community were using to cling on to hope though, was borderline insignificant, such as metadata updates to the Team Cherry website, or a confirmation via a Twitter reply that the game is indeed real and progressing. In March, however, t...

Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

After months of waiting on more information on what to expect from the Switch 2. We got given an hour of information.

So, after much rumors and many predictions we didn't know if we should trust or not. The Switch 2 Direct was set free to the world to watch and enjoy.

5 Rift of the NecroDancer Tracks You’ll Have On Repeat

It’s been just over a month since Cadence and friends were sucked into the modern world in a blaze of musical glory and I'm still not quite over it. Rift of the NecroDancer brought the best of Crypt of the NecroDancer and a Guitar Hero-like mechanic today and mixed it all up with a first-class roster of composers, because—in the words of Raul Julia’s M. Bison—of course! Danny Baranowsky assembled the best of best of musical talent, both Crypt mainstays and newcomers, and got them to work their magic on the soundtrack. And let’s just say, you’ll be hard-pressed to get it out of your head! A soundtrack like this makes choosing highlights a mammoth task, but if you’re playing this game, a challenge is par for the course. So, here are five of my favourite tracks I’ve been listening to on re...

And yes, it has taken me a while to get through my backlog to be able to bring you this review. That's not even due to the fact that the LEGO Art LOVE (set number 31214) skipped right to the front. Mario time! Before I get into the nitty gritty of this build, let's quickly go over the product specs/details.
