Reaction to the Nintendo Direct on the Hollow Knight and Silksong subreddits has, perhaps to be expected, not been positive. The top thread currently on the Silksong [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1me1j9k/aaahahahahahahah/']reddit[/URL] is a meme of a cat laughing open-mouthed, pointing at the screen.

"I feel like people would be taking it better if Team Cherry themselves gave more frequent updates," wrote reddit user ChocoGoodness, "instead of letting us wait for Nintendo or Xbox or whatever to announce it." Officially, all we know of Silksong's arrival is that it [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/hollow-knight-silksong-developer-responds-to-release-date-confusion-promises-launch-before-holiday-not-tied-to-xbox-handheld-arrival']will launch before Christmas 2025, and not be tied to the release of the ROG Ally X handheld[/URL].
