After the devastation that came when the Partner Showcase did not feature Hollow Knight: Silksong, naturally, this news sent the Silksong community back into a frenzy (especially with a demo appearing at Gamescom later this month ), with the exclamation of "ah shit, here we go again" summing it up pretty well.

Team Cherry likely gets a kick out of seeing the community's hopes peak, and then swiftly evaporate, before and after every gaming conference. The studio's silent treatment and the emergence of Silksanity have also resulted in free marketing for Silksong.
