Despite high hopes and numerous showcase appearances, no solid release date has been provided since its 2019 announcement. The absence of updates has led to speculation about its presence in upcoming events, with a recent poll indicating that 86% of voters believe it will not appear in the next showcase. Developers Team Cherry have remained tight-lipped, leaving players in a constant state of longing for news on this eagerly awaited Metroidvania sequel.
