[QUOTE="Admin, post: 64548, member: 1"] A pair of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-direct-partner-showcase-and-indie-world-showcase-announced-for-tomorrow-august-27']back-to-back Nintendo Directs[/URL] have been announced for tomorrow, one focused on indie games and another focused on larger, third-party partners. Which means that Hollow Knight fans are once again preparing for inevitable heartbreak if Hollow Knight: Silksong doesn't appear. If you've somehow missed this entire saga, Hollow Knight: Silksong is the eagerly-awaited sequel to 2017 Metroidvania Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight was adored by critics and fans alike ([URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/06/22/hollow-knight-review']we gave it a 9.4/10[/URL]), so in 2019 when developer Team Cherry [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/02/14/hollow-knight-sequel-announced-for-pc-and-nintendo-switch']revealed a sequel[/URL], it was met with enthusiasm.
