Although I appreciate that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on Game Pass at launch, my initial feelings about it have shifted a bit, largely because I've been replaying Hollow Knight. My initial response to the fact that it launches on Game Pass led me to say:

Nice thing about it coming to Game Pass is I can save my pennies for the inevitable physical edition.

Yet a week into playing the first game, and as I enter into the last third of the game and start completing the aspects required to face the Radiance I fear I don't feel the same. Yes, I will be buying a physical copy of Silksong, as nothing can change that, but I so fundamentally enjoy Hollow Knight as a handheld game that I can't imagine being stuck sitting on my couch playing it on my Xbox. And streaming it to my Steam Deck won't cut it. No, I need a handheld copy at launch. Whether that's a Switch copy (if that is still happening at launch) or a Steam copy, either will do. I suppose then it seems I won't be saving any of my pennies at launch.

Hey everybody. The time to replay the original is now. My uncle works at Nintendo and...

I feel it in my soul that Silksong is soon. Plus I already started playing Hollow Knight again, and man, it holds up. I got to the first-ish boss which is that mother fly. It is so well directed that after you kill it, a bunch of baby flies pop out which you also must kill but do not offer any geo (the in game currency). It is the kind of sharp directing that both makes sense in the world of Hollow Knight and drives home the sadness of the world.

Look- any excuse to replay Hollow Knight is a good one in my book. So Silksong trailer is a good excuse.

I just think it would be really good for society for Silksong to be shadow dropped today.

Before people start making jokes about whether or not Silksong will be featured in tomorrow's Nintendo Indie showcase, let me say this.

It will not!

I'm so sure about this, I've posted a little something in the forums that will be fun if I am wrong. If you are a Hollow Knight fan that is excited for Silksong, be sure to check it out: Hollow Knight: Sliksong @IndieWorldNA?
