Silksong will make an appearance, but hopes for its inclusion in Nintendo's Indie World Showcase on August 7 may have been dashed. The long-awaited metroidvania from Team Cherry has become something of a white whale for fans of the original Hollow Knight,

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,
