Hollow Knight: Silksong Fans Are Ready to Be Disappointed by New Nintendo Direct

As a long-time gamer who has been following the gaming industry for over two decades now, I must say that my excitement for upcoming titles is always tempered with a dash of realism and a pinch of skepticism. The hype surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong is no exception.


Enthusiasts of the upcoming game, “Hollow Knight: Silksong”, are already bracing themselves for potential letdown from Nintendo’s next Direct. Earlier today, Nintendo announced a new Nintendo Partner Direct and Indie World showcase scheduled for August 27th. This revelation has sparked speculation among many about the possibility of “Silksong” being featured during this event. However, contrary to expectations, fans appear more inclined to believe that the Metroidvania title might never see release instead.

On the main Hollow Knight: Silksong subreddit, discussions about the latest Nintendo Direct soon took center stage. Although some fans were eager to be hopeful about a possible reveal of Silksong, most users on the forum expressed that they’ve grown skeptical about Directs as a reliable source for updates on the much-anticipated game that’s been long overdue.

“According to u/DubbtTM on Reddit, the news about ‘Silksong’ will only come from Team Cherry themselves and there won’t be any events related to it.” In simpler terms, he is saying that we should hear updates about ‘Silksong’ directly from Team Cherry since there are no other events surrounding it. He also expresses frustration with people overhyping things unnecessarily, which is why he wants to clarify this point.

“u/Randomguyontheapp expressed that he’s given up quite some time back, saying, ‘I no longer have any faith left.’ He also pleaded for assistance, stating, ‘Could someone, anyone, lend a hand to these people who seem so out of their minds?'”

It’s possible that the game “Hollow Knight: Silksong” could be featured during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct, given its status as a title developed by a partnered third-party developer (Team Cherry) and an indie game. This means it might be showcased in either the main event or the Indie World segment of the presentation, which would undoubtedly delight fans worldwide.

If Hollow Knight: Silksong appears this week, we might gain more insights into the game’s upcoming release. However, Team Cherry has yet to specify a launch window for Silksong. Despite this, it’s confirmed that the sequel to Hollow Knight will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. Earlier leaks from 2024 hinted at an impending release date for Silksong, but we’ll have to wait and see if this prediction proves true.
