Don’t even bother with the clown makeup, Hole Knight: Silksong could well no longer be at Gamescom’s Opening Evening Are living point to

Assign away the clown makeup, there is no favor to hope this time – Hole Knight: Silksong is skipping yet any other showcase.

Every video games showcase / marketing marathon has had its reside chat flooded with now-inevitable fan messages worrying a Hole Knight: Silksong update, or crying “SKONG” when issues dash awry, ever on epic of the lengthy-awaited sequel went lacking from the general public watch. Disappointment became so embedded for the length of the Hole Knight community, that they’ve since became recognized for donning clown makeup (by memes) every time, but which would perhaps perchance no longer be needed subsequent week.

Instead of prepping your clown makeup upfront of the inevitable no-point to, or painting your face after the livestream ends, it could perchance correct be simplest to proceed the clown makeup in the drawer earlier than Gamescom’s Opening Evening Are living showcase that’s airing subsequent Tuesday, August 20.

Gamescom ONL and The Game Awards frontman and organizer Geoff Keighley jumped onto social media to let gothic malicious program enjoyers down straightforward (and to doubtlessly beat again pesky comments from the purpose to’s reside chat.) “Simply to gain this out of the vogue, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL,” he tweeted, “Team Cherry is restful cooking.”

Regardless of Team Cherry’s silence, hype for the subterranean sequel has most effective rocketed in two years since its final trailer. But consistent with one playtester, the Metroidvania is positively “no longer in dev hell,” so don’t let the muted marketing difficulty you an excessive amount of. Team Cherry is a minute indie crew, despite all the pieces.

My most-anticipated Metroidvania embraces doubtlessly the simplest thing about Shovel Knight and has a out of the ordinary demo endorsed by Hole Knight Silksong devs.
