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.

Silksong was once believed to be nonexistent due to how sparse its news was. Not long ago, in fact, it would be laughable to predict that Hollow Knight: Silksong may appear anywhere due to how often it eluded such events,

At this point, Hollow Knight: Silksong has transcended its 'indie' label. Sure, for all intents and purposes, it still is an indie game, but it's one of the most anticipated games of the year, meaning its appearance at any indie showcase, even Nintendo's Indie World Showcase, is highly unlikely.
