This new trailer for Hollow Knight Silksong follows hot on the heels of some pretty interesting teases. It was just earlier this week that Summer Game Fest host Geoff Keighley and Team Cherry marketing boss Matthew Griffin had some fun teasing fans with a small interaction on Twitter.

After Keighley initially tweeted that there's "nothing like the feeling of seeing a good world premiere arrive in your inbox," Silksong fans noticed Griffin replied with "I approve of the tease." Considering how many years Hollow Knight: Silksong has spent skulking in the shadows, you can probably imagine how eager fans took this as a huge hint toward the game popping up at the showcase.

Well, the tease actually turned into something concrete, although Silksong never actually surfaced at the showcase that it was originally being teased for. After all this time waiting, they probably deserve it.
