Hollow Knight: Silksong is a long-awaited sequel to a beloved game, and I think it's fair to say the desperation for its release has taken on a life of its own. The devs at Team Cherry, the tiny Australian indie studio behind both games, say they try to stay offline, but they're certainly aware of the community of Silkposters that has grown increasingly prolific over the past few years.
Team Cherry co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen tell Bloomberg that they never read YouTube or Reddit comments, but friends and family have kept them apprised of the funniest bits. "It's nice that people are passionate about the game, and that they’ve obviously formed their own strange or very exciting communities around it," Gibson says.
