Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally out, and I only had to wait six years. During that time, there were countless Nintendo Directs, Indie Worlds, Partner Directs, and a whole host of other showcases. At every single one of them, bar the Indie Worlds in recent times, I\u2019ve applied the clown makeup, until Team Cherry finally put us all out of our misery with a livestream during Gamescom week.<\/p>\n
So, that leads me to ask a rather solemn question: what on earth do I apply the clown makeup for now? Okay, there are a couple of easy answers for me, but they don\u2019t involve my beloved Nintendo Switch 2 (a Bloodborne remake or sequel, when?). Hollow Knight: Silksong has left a huge hole. I\u2019m just not sure what to get my hopes up for. It became almost a tradition: every time the next Nintendo Direct rolled around, I\u2019d get my hopes up only for Team Cherry to dash them.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of games that I\u2019m looking forward to, but not all of them have me thinking that I\u2019ll need to wait six years to see them actually land on my console. I suppose now that Xbox is bringing its games to other platforms, with Indiana Jones: The Great Circle landing on Switch 2 next year, I could do my best Ronald McDonald impressions for Fable appearing on the hybrid console, but, at this point, I actually might give up on seeing it even arrive on the Xbox. Mind you, we first got wind of it in 2020, and it\u2019s apparently now coming out next year, so maybe it will arrive six years later just like Silksong.<\/p>\n
