Today is the day – more than six years after its announcement and over eight since the launch of its predecessor, Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to release in a matter of hours. Fans have been looking back on the history of the indie Metroidvania series, including a relic of a Reddit post where players were very skeptical about the first game. Oh, how times change.
Highlighted by Twitter user @ShitpostRock, back in November 2015 came an r/Gaming thread that would age simultaneously spectacularly and incredibly poorly, starting with a post sharing a new Hollow Knight trailer. "Last year, my best friend quit his full-time job to chase his dream and make a fully fledged video game," one friend of Team Cherry's wrote, sharing the game's "Ferocious Foes" trailer. "Today, he just released a trailer, and it looks beyond amazing."
