"Silksong Fans Hopeful for News at Next Week's Nintendo Direct"

While some communities, like the Tomodachi Life fans, are reveling in the excitement following today's Nintendo Direct, others are facing a different reality. Specifically, the Hollow Knight: Silksong community is once again donning their metaphorical clown makeup, as no new trailer for the long-awaited sequel appeared during the showcase.

F fortunately, hope remains with another showcase slated for next week.

Of course, now we wait for April 2nd

The Silksong community has been a rollercoaster of anticipation and disappointment. A visit to their subreddit or community Discord reveals a constant stream of memes and "silkposts" filled with fantasies, predictions, and humor about a game that seems perpetually on the horizon. Their reactions to previous Nintendo Directs and the infamous chocolate cake incident in January showcase a mix of genuine disappointment and communal jesting. It's challenging to discern from an outsider's perspective how much of the reaction is serious frustration and how much is simply a tight-knit group enjoying the ride.

Nintendo Direct? That's not until April 2nd

However, the upcoming showcase carries a bit more weight. Hollow Knight initially gained fame on PC, but its popularity soared with its release on the Nintendo Switch, leading many to associate it closely with Nintendo's platform. The upcoming Nintendo Direct, set to unveil the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside potential launch titles, represents a significant opportunity for Silksong to make a grand re-debut. Amidst the expected first-party titles, Silksong fans are clinging to the hope that their beloved game will be featured, signaling its readiness for release.

Will the Silksong community face yet another letdown? It's possible. Yet, there are hints that the game might be nearing a release announcement. A recent mention in an Xbox Wire post on indies, coupled with backend updates on the game's Steam listing, suggest progress. However, the community has been down this road before, with Silksong's appearances and disappearances from various console storefronts causing repeated waves of hype and disappointment.

The only certainty comes from Team Cherry's marketing and publishing chief, Matthew 'Leth' Griffin, who, after the cake incident in January, reassured fans: "Yes the game is real, progressing, and will release." As we await the next showcase, we can only dream of what life will be like in a post-Silksong world.

So, get that clown makeup ready for next week, folks!
