We've been fooled again, folks. What we thought were Hollow Knight: Silksong clues being left by one of the devs turned out to be a "nothingburger," but the game is still in development.
One of the devs changed their profile picture and name on Twitter, and it seemed like they were leaving clues that there would be more information about the game revealed during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in April.
Hollow Knight YouTuber fireb0rn tweets: "Leth reached out to me to confirm there was no Silksong ARG and that the changes to William's account and the tweet were a nothingburger.
Apologies to have misled everyone. The cake was a lie." However, Matthew Griffin, who does marketing and publishing for Hollow Knight: Silksong reassures us that the game is still ticking along and we will one day get our hands on it. "Yes the game is real, progressing and will release," they tweet.
Deep down in my bones, I knew we were chasing our tails with this one, but what's fandom without a little hope? I keep believing we'll get a new Bloodborne game or remaster at some point in the future, even though I'm proven wrong time and time again.
