"I've given up on it": Hollow Knight Silksong fans once again in shambles after convincing themselves a release date announcement was coming during the July Nintendo Direct, only for it to be a no-show
Hollow Knight: Silksong fans are, once again, in complete and utter shambles. Today's Nintendo Direct didn't give us even a single frame of the highly anticipated Metroidvania sequel, and fans aren't taking it well.
"We lost again, guys," reads one all-caps post on the Hollow Knight subreddit. Another less dramatic but equally saddened player writes, "So, saw the Direct, to the end, and… Sorry, disappointed. Pray to Peahen we get news soon."

I'm Issy, a freelancer who you'll now occasionally see over here covering news on GamesRadar. I've always had a passion for playing games, but I learned how to write about them while doing my Film and TV degrees at the University of Warwick and contributing to the student paper, The Boar. After university I worked at TheGamer before heading up the news section at Dot Esports. Now you'll find me freelancing for Rolling Stone, NME, Inverse, and many more places. I love all things horror, narrative-driven, and indie, and I mainly play on my PS5. I'm currently clearing my backlog and loving Dishonored 2.
