Hollow Knight: Silksong was carrying so much hype on its shoulders - eight years worth, to be exact - that when developer Team Cherry finally stepped out of the shadows to give the world a release date, it sent other game making indie teams into a bit of a panic. But Team Cherry kinda feels bad about all the drama; it's just that they didn't even know Silksong's release date until a week or so before we did.
To rewind, Team Cherry announced Silksong's release date in a long-awaited trailer, two weeks before the game would eventually come out worldwide. What followed was a minor frenzy, as at least eight other indie teams delayed their own games to avoid the inevitable attention vacuum that was Hollow Knight: Silksong.
