Does it? The last time the game was shown was in a Nintendo event 5 years ago.
No, it showed up at an Xbox showcase in 2022, where every game was going to be on Game Pass day 1 and releasing within 12 months, which would have meant the game would be out by June 2023. Silksong wasn't the only game that missed that 12 month window, but it showed that, at the time, they were confident that it was nearly done, and that they took a deal with Microsoft, because being on Game Pass day 1 means Microsoft offered them a huge bucket of money to make up for lost sales.
Ahhh, you're right. I forgot about that Xbox showcase. I also remember when the Xbox twitter account confirmed the game was coming 2023...
