Resolves yes if, at the time Hollow Knight: Silksong releases, we've known about the upcoming release from official channels for less than 2 weeks.

Resolves N/A if silksong is cancelled.

  • Update 2025-08-21 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Will measure the exact number of seconds between the official announcement and the moment Silksong is playable.

    • Resolves YES if this interval is < 14 x 24 x 3600 seconds (strictly less than 14 days); otherwise NO.

  • Update 2025-08-23 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Start time: the instant the “4” appears after “September” in the official announcement (i.e., when the date is shown), not the stream or trailer start.

    • End time: the moment the game is playable.

    • Threshold: resolves YES if the interval is strictly less than 14×24×3600 seconds (1,209,600s); otherwise NO.

  • Update 2025-08-25 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - End time: when the game becomes playable in any region; regional early availability (e.g., New Zealand) counts.

Looks like it'll make it by a little over 30 minutes

Update: I’ll be resolving based on the number of seconds between the announcement and the moment it’s playable, under or over 14x24x3600

@spider The AI summary of this comment, in the description, is very funny. But also wrong, in a way plausibly worth editing. It replaced the x with *, this got processed into Markdown, and therefore the number in the summary is 14243600 with the third and fourth digits italicized, rather than 1209600.

@spider Starting from 10:30 ET, or the beginning of the trailer, or when the “4” appeared after “September”?

@JimHays when the 4 appeared, that's most in line with the market wording.

@Tulip haha good catch, fixed

does it matter if it's playable but only in new zealand or whatever

@Tripping playable anywhere is fine, as long as the general public can buy and play it

incredible. how does this shit ALWAYS happen LMAO

bought Ṁ500 YES

well that's an edge case

@Robincvgr i do think it'll be less than a literal 336 hrs?

bought Ṁ15 YES

@Robincvgr yeah if it releases like, midnight et on the 4th or something, i think this should resolve YES

@Robincvgr feels like an N/A to me, underspecified market

JGY boughtṀ300NO

This market always felt like irrational hopium to me, but given how long team cherry waited to announce that the game was delayed beyond the 1 year timespan we had before, I actually wouldn't rule out that they would make a last minute release announcement as well.

They are no longer "indie" and have to work with many official partners, I have my doubts a surprise release could be coordinated with all parties involved.

2023 release? Maybe.

Suprise release? No.
