Avowed was featured with a new story trailer at yesterday's Xbox Game Showcase 2024, and an Obsidian blog post briefly mentioned a November 12 release date before being corrected.
Every year, as summer approaches, I start to get worried. It's because I know that, around the world, there are Hollow Knight fans gazing across a cold and uncaring sea, daring to hope for some sign that they'll see their bugs again. Every year, I watch those hopes shatter. And every year, as those poor souls drift away muttering that Silksong could be in the Nintendo Direct, maybe, I wonder how many times their hearts can be broken. 2024's big showcase weekend is behind us and once again, Hollow Knight: Silksong didn't make an appearance. Our last Silksong sighting was at the 2022 Xbox & Bethesda showcase—all the games from which, Microsoft confidently declared would be playable over the following year. Well, a year passed. And then another. Depending on what timescale you prefer for measuring human torment, it's been 23 months, or 729 days, or 17,486 hours. For the starving Silksong seekers, there hasn't been another crumb to share. Even by 2022, waiting for Silksong had already become something between a meme and a Sisyphean burden.

It's enough to make me despondent, and I didn't even play Hollow Knight. Imagine how the fans feel! Or just look at Twitter, where they're doing their grieving out in the open:

The Black Ops 6 deep dive that aired just after the Xbox Games Showcase yesterday showed off loads of new information about the upcoming Call of Duty. Not only will it be time-warping back to the '90s, but it's also adding a new «Omnimovement» feature that could either sink or swim—we're not sure yet. But the best news, in my opinion, had to be that Zombies will be returning to the traditional round-based format.
There won't be a Nintendo Direct broadcast this week, a known Brazilian Journalist has claimed.
There are new character leaks following the reveal of several upcoming units.
