Hollow Knight: Silksong's Reveal Is Five Years Old, Fans Aren't Taking It Well
15.02.2024 - 00:45 / thegamer.com
If you're a relatively new Hollow Knight fan, it can be difficult to imagine that the Hollow Knight fanbase was once full of excitement and optimism. Way back in 2019, Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced and revealed to rapturous applause, promising an ambitious sequel that would feature a whole new world to explore and the opportunity to play as fan favorite character Hornet. However, a whole five years later, we're still waiting.
Over the past few years, the Hollow Knight fanbase has gone from excited, to patient, to downright desperate. With only a couple of gameplay trailers released over that time and no release date in sight, Hollow Knight fans are now ravenous for any piece of news that so much as hints to the fact that development is progressing smoothly. It doesn't take much to send them into a downward spiral though, and the five-year anniversary of Silksong's initial announcement has them down bad.
Take a look at the replies to the tweet above, and you'll see all kinds of reactions to the cruel passage of time. We have some people telling others to let developer Team Cherry cook and give them as much time as they need, though better communication would be appreciated. On the other hand, you have people fully convinced that Silksong's announcement was some kind of horrible shared fever dream the entire planet went through at the same time.
I’ll be telling my grandchildren the myth of Silksong.
It's not much better on the Hollow Knight subreddit either, with one post in particular becoming a hotbed for defeated fans convinced they'll never see Silksong in their lifetime. You have fans calling the game fake, pretending it was never announced in the first place, or convinced it's an elborate prank. One person even pointed out that Silksong has probably been in development for a year or so before its initial announcement, meaning it's been cooking for probably more than six years at this point.
In a last ditch attempt to get some news, Hollow Knight fans have even started threatening to sacrifice the game's subreddit out of desperation. They've even set their sights on other subreddits to sacrifice to the great gaming gods if their plan doesn't work, and I think we can safely say that things are starting to get out of hand. Hopefully, Team Cherry will put us all out of our misery this year and at least give us a release window soon, and if you're a Deltarune fan, you may want to watch your back.

Tekken 8 Has Implemented Microtransactions and Fans Aren’t Happy!
There are many “plights” in the video game industry that are affecting the various businesses that inhabit it. Just this week alone, two major publishers announced that they were laying off a combined 1500 people, and more are likely to come in March. Another issue is the cost of games and the amount of cash just being thrown at them in an attempt to be good and sell well. That’s one of the reasons for the layoffs, in fact. The other side effect of such actions, as being proven right now by Tekken 8, is that microtransactions are popping up everywhere. Much to the dismay of gamers as a whole.
