NOT a joke this time. It's happening. It's really happening. SILKSONG IS REAL.

It's definitely not going to live up to the hype. We already know what Hollow Knight is like, and we've seen a demo of what Silksong will be like from last year's E3, and... it's really not that much different. Not that that's an inherently bad thing, since Hollow Knight was already really good, so any improvement on that is only going to be better.

I worry that it'll suffer a similar fate to Duke Nukem Forever. In a vacuum, DNF isn't necessarily a bad game, but it suffered from being overhyped for years. So when it came out and just turned out to be "okay", that was the final nail in the coffin for the Duke Nukem franchise. I hope I'm wrong, though.

    Overhyping aside, I'd say that not being much different from Hollow Knight is exactly what people want. HK was amazing. If Silksong is just HK but with a different map and enemies, I'd be ecstatic.
