"The Savage Beastfly takes prisoners. Their cages fall from the ceiling as it charges directly at your lithe, red-cloaked figure. Somehow, it manages to track your nimble movement and futile flips and smashes into you at full force. The fight is over, and you are not the victor. It's a brutal early boss fight, and one that feels almost symbolic."
"It wasn't considered one of the greatest indie games of all time; it was considered one of the greatest games of all time. The internet buzzed when Team Cherry announced Silksong. This wasn't a Hollow Knight update; it was a full sequel starring Hornet, the iconic needle-wielding acrobat who tested players in battle in the original game. Tweets flew, YouTube breakdowns piled up, and a new subreddit r/Silksong quickly became the beating heart of the hype."
Hollow Knight Silksong finally released after a six-year wait, ending prolonged fan anticipation. The game casts Hornet as the protagonist, offering a full sequel rather than an update. Hollow Knight's 2017 release became a massive hit, selling over 15 million copies and elevating Team Cherry's profile. Team Cherry remained silent during development, providing no marketing or updates. That silence spawned intense fan obsession, a subreddit named r/Silksong, and a Silkposting meme culture that edited Hornet into diverse contexts and turned "Silksong confirmed" into both punchline and prayer. The release resolves years of speculation, hype, and meme-driven frustration.
