Summary
Hollow Knight: SilksongandBloodbornefans are almost kindred spirits, in that they’re both sets of people constantly waiting and praying for something involving their favorite game. It could be an announcement, release date, trailer, or even a minor update, but these fanbases have beenleft in the dark and tormentedfor so long that they’ve almost given up hope.
The Game Awards 2024 was supposed to finally change that though. There was unprecedented hype going into the show, with insiders hinting at massive announcements, and Silksong fans raised their hopes once again. Meanwhile, Bloodborne fans already had raised hopes following mysterious server maintenance andwhat many perceived to be a teaserincluded in PlayStation’s 30th anniversary video celebration.
The Wait For Hollow Knight: Silksong And Bloodborne Goes On
Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be, as while there wereplenty of massive announcements at The Game Awards, there was no sign of Silksong or Bloodborne. Now that the dust has settled, fans of both games have once again taken to their respective subreddits to air their grievances and share in their joint depression,such as Reddit user Holy-Wan Kenobiwho just started begging Team Cherry for any kind of communication.
Another fan pointed outthat both Elden Ring andan Elden Ring spinoffare going to launch before we get even a sniff of Hollow Knight: Silksong, while another more agitated fan called ShinyChespin took to the subreddit to claim thatdeveloper Team Cherry “doesn’t deserve their fan base”. Ouch.
Bloodborne fans were also out in full force on their subreddit, their persistence very much running out.A user called Lachoprimesimply shared a picture of a Hunter with a clown nose, representing how pretty much every Bloodborne fan must be feeling right now, while other users in the replies are simply commenting “I’m gonna neck myself” and “It’s so bloodover”.
All we can do now is look to the next big event, which will likely be a showcase by one of the three big platform holders, and apply our clown makeup once again in the hopes that either of them actually show up. As for right now, we can just attempt to push our depression down, maybe rewatch the Silksong reveal trailer to feel something again, and take solace in the fact that at least Silksong and Bloodborne fans have each other.
