2,379. That's how many days it has been since Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight Silksong. 339. That's the number of weeks which have been allowed to pass with near deafening silence from the developer, a void that players all across the globe have filled with endless amounts of theorycraft and anticipation. 30.

Team Cherry is clearly operating as a studio ready to meet the challenge head-on, rather than succumb to the pressure. Which, funnily enough, is exactly the way that Silksong is able to get under your skin.
