Summary

Hollow Knight: Silksong's potential ARG appears to have been debunked by Team Cherry, leaving fans frustrated and disappointed.
According to Hollow Knight speedrunner Fireb0rn, Team Cherry reached out to him to confirm that there was no Silksong ARG, and that it was a "nothingburger".
Fans are now demanding that Team Cherry release a statement, calling the tease "lowkey cruel" and "unprofessional".

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hollow Knight fans have been going through a rollercoaster of emotions recently, thanks to what many perceived to be a tease for a potentialౠ S𒁏ilksong reveal during Nintendo's dedicated Switch 2 Direct on April 2 later t♐his year. It all began when one of the game's ꦑco-creators, William Pellen, changed the usernames and profile picture of his throwaway Twitter account to tease the date Apri𓄧l 2.

There were some other details too, such as the name of the account being connected to a brand of wine from Adelaide - the place in which Team Cherry is based - but it really felt like we were ♈🥂finally getting some news after years of silence. Unfortunately, iജt now appears as though this ARG was nothing to gღet excited about after all.

Earlier today, - who has also been keeping tabs on the entire situation - claimed via their Twitter account that Leth (the nickname of Matthew Griffin, who is essentially in charge of Team Cherry's PR) reached out to them to confirm that there is no Silksong ARG. He also apparently explained that the chan🤡ges made🌺 to William's account are "a nothingburger".

Hollow Knight Fans Want Team Cherry Statement After Silksong ARG Gets Debunked

Now having to deal with the likelihood that the first piece of promising news about Silksong in yearswas nothing but nonsense, Hollow Kni🍸ght fans have taken to Reddit to vent their frustrations. Sh༺ortly after Fireb0rn posted their tweet, took to the Silksong subreddit to "demand a statement from Team Cherry".

Most of the anger seems to come from the fact that this tweet seemingly confirms that the Twitter account that started it all ac🔯tually does belong to Pellen. If what Leth says is true, and it was for nothing, it means that a Silksong dev riled up their own fanbase, and many are now calling the whole fiasco "lowkey cruel" and "a gut punch".

It's time for me to dive into a claಞssic that I keep hearing about, but never played myself.

Others are claiming that it was "completely unprofessional and immature behavior", while a lot of anger als꧑o seems to be aimed at the fact that Team Cherry has seemingly spoken through a high-profile content creator, rather than communicated with fans directly, which is something that has been a constant point of criticism aimed at the devs for a while.

It's worth pointing out tꦏhat there's a very slim chance that Leth is just attempting to quell some of the excitement that's built up over the past♊ 24 hours, and Team Cherry actually does have something planned for April 2, but it seems fairly unlikely. Fireb0rn could also be lying, but it would be a bizarre one, and would almost definitely tank his credibility with Hollow Knight fans. Best to just chalk this one up as yet another disappointment. Anyone got any clown makeup?
