2,365. That\u2019s how many days ago Team Cherry announced Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/strong>, that\u2019s more than six years, during which time I\u2019ve 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\u2019s Indie World<\/strong>. Well, for some of you maybe, but I refuse to muddy my face with a red nose.<\/p>\n Since Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/a>\u2019s first appearance, there have been nearly 50 Nintendo Directs, Mini Nintendo Directs, and Indie Worlds – yes, just those three types of showcases, I\u2019m not counting those for Pok\u00e9mon, other specific games, and the Super Nintendo World Directs. So, you\u2019ll have to forgive me if I find it hard to believe that the next Nintendo Direct<\/a> (well, Indie showcase) is when I\u2019ll finally get a Hollow Knight Silksong release date<\/a>. To be honest, until we got a five-second clip of it at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct<\/a>, I was beginning to question if it was a myth.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re more of a believer than I and you still have faith in Team Cherry showing the game at the Indie showcase, perhaps you\u2019ll take heed of what SwitchForce<\/a> has to say about it. According to the leaker, who accurately claimed the Nintendo Direct last week, along with this week\u2019s look at some indie games<\/a>, Hollow Knight: Silksong isn\u2019t 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<\/a> tomorrow.<\/p>\n
