After Silksong's delay, Hollow Knight's chronically chaotic community is surprisingly chill. Depending on where you stand with Team Cherry's long awaited sequel to its acclaimed 2017 action-RPG, Hollow Knight, the statement above is either an indictment of Silksong's, let's say, eccentric following, or it's the highest praise. Indeed, the community is known for its public meltdowns and irrational fury whenever Silksong is absent from the latest live showcase of the day, but this only makes the community's apparent restraint in the face of the latest push back all the more intriguing.
Granted, the Hollow Knight: Silksong community's fiery outbursts aren't without an element of self-referential comic effect, and are born mostly from a lack of concrete information and an abundance of clown makeup. So what's different this time? Simply: communication.
