I want to see Hollow Knight Silksong tomorrow, but I’m sick of the clown make-up
2,365. That’s how many days ago Team Cherry announced Hollow Knight: Silksong, that’s more than six years, during which time I’ve put on more clown make-up than Ronald McDonald, Pennywise, and Krusty the Clown combined. Every single time a Nintendo Direct rolls around, we all feel optimistic about an HKS appearance, and the same is true for tomorrow’s Indie World. Well, for some of you maybe, but I refuse to muddy my face with a red nose.
Since Hollow Knight: Silksong’s first appearance, there have been nearly 50 Nintendo Directs, Mini Nintendo Directs, and Indie Worlds – yes, just those three types of showcases, I’m not counting those for Pokémon, other specific games, and the Super Nintendo World Directs. So, you’ll have to forgive me if I find it hard to believe that the next Nintendo Direct (well, Indie showcase) is when I’ll finally get a Hollow Knight Silksong release date. To be honest, until we got a five-second clip of it at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, I was beginning to question if it was a myth.

According to the leaker, who accurately claimed the Nintendo Direct last week, along with this week’s look at some indie games, Hollow Knight: Silksong isn’t due to appear during the presentation. Considering his solid track record over the past couple of weeks, you might want to check your expectations about seeing the Metroidvania tomorrow.
