While immoderate communities (like the Tomodachi Life fans) are having an implicit blast pursuing today's Nintendo Direct, others aren't doing truthful hot. Specifically, I'm referring to the Hollow Knight: Silksong folks, who are erstwhile again putting connected their clown constitution aft nary caller trailer for the long-anticipated Hollow Knight sequel surfaced astatine the showcase.
Fortunately, there's different 1 adjacent week.
Look, the Silksong assemblage has been a blistery messiness of anticipation and disappointment for a while. Pop into the subreddit oregon assemblage Discord connected a fixed day, and you'll beryllium overwhelmed with changeless memes and "silkposts" fantasizing, predicting, and joking astir a crippled that seems similar it volition simply ne'er arrive. We covered their antics past year, erstwhile a brace of back-to-back Directs likewise sent the assemblage reeling, and again successful January erstwhile a photograph of cocoa barroom turned into a frantic hunt for an ARG that ne'er was. At this point, it's honestly hard to archer from the extracurricular looking successful however overmuch superior disappointment is progressive here, and however overmuch is conscionable a tight-knit assemblage of fans having a laughter each clip a caller showcase is announced.
But determination is, admittedly, thing a small much pressing astir this adjacent showcase. Hollow Knight primitively released for PC, but its ascent to fame truly kicked into cogwheel erstwhile it launched connected Nintendo Switch the pursuing year, which has caused galore to subordinate it with Nintendo's consoles moreso than immoderate of the others it's released on. There's besides a consciousness of grandeur astir the showcase adjacent week, specifically: it's a Nintendo Direct intended to amusement disconnected the Nintendo Switch 2, apt some the hardware and perchance besides respective motorboat titles. What amended spot for Silksong to re-debut? While determination volition people beryllium a fig of first-party games there, Hollow Knight fans are hoping against anticipation that Silksong has proven anticipated and fashionable capable to warrant a spot astatine specified a monolithic showcase...and, critically, that the crippled is yet acceptable for premier time.
Are Silksong fans apt astir to person their hopes dashed yet again for thing similar the 50th clip since the crippled was announced? I dunno, probably! There are a fewer different indicators that Silksong mightiness beryllium nearing immoderate benignant of merchandise day announcement though. There was a passing notation to it astir a week agone successful an Xbox Wire station connected indies, though that whitethorn person conscionable been a cheeky joke. More interestingly, determination person been immoderate caller backend changes to the game's listing connected Steam, including a copyright twelvemonth update. But we've besides conscionable spent respective years getting overhyped for nary crushed astir Silksong getting listed and delisted from assorted console storefronts randomly. So who knows, really?
All we bash know, for implicit certain, is what Team Cherry selling and publishing main Matthew 'Leth' Griffin said backmost successful January aft the barroom incident. "Yes the crippled is real, progressing, and volition release." All we tin bash present is beryllium back, wait, and imagination of what it volition beryllium similar surviving successful a post-Silksong world.
Get that clown make-up acceptable for adjacent week, folks!
