The void continues as fans of the highly-anticipated sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, had their hopes dashed once more as it was revealed that the game would not be making an appearance at the upcoming Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase. The disappointment has become all too familiar for fans who have eagerly awaited any news on the game’s progress.
The Hollow Knight community has become synonymous with clown makeup, with memes circulating online depicting fans putting on the colorful face paint whenever news of Silksong’s absence surfaces. However, the usual ritual of preparing the clown makeup for yet another disappointment may not be necessary this time around, as the game continues to stay out of the limelight.
Geoff Keighley, the face behind Gamescom ONL and The Game Awards, took to social media to address fans’ concerns and deliver the unfortunate news. In a tweet, he stated, “Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL. @TeamCherryGames is still cooking.” Despite the setback, Keighley’s message was clear – the team at Team Cherry is still hard at work on the game.
Despite the lack of updates and appearances, the excitement for Hollow Knight: Silksong has continued to grow over the past two years. Fans have been eagerly anticipating any news about the game, but have been met with silence from the developers. However, according to a playtester, the game is not stuck in development hell, which should provide some reassurance to eager fans.
The absence of Hollow Knight: Silksong from Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase may have been a disappointment for fans, but it is clear that Team Cherry is dedicated to delivering a quality game. While the wait may be frustrating, it is important for fans to remain patient and trust in the developers’ vision. Hopefully, the next time Hollow Knight: Silksong makes an appearance, it will be worth the wait.
