On Silksong Eve, This Decade-Old Hollow Knight Reddit Post Is Incredible In Hindsight

Here is a 182-word summary of the news article: The upcoming release of Hollow Knight: Silksong has prompted the resurfacing of a decade-old Reddit post about the original Hollow Knight game. The post, made by a user whose friend had quit their job to develop the game, featured a trailer and expressed excitement about the project. However, the response from other Redditors was relatively muted, with some suggesting the game lacked innovation and might struggle to find an audience in the "saturated" side-scrolling platformer market. Fast forward to today, and Hollow Knight has become a runaway success, selling over 15 million copies and building immense anticipation for its sequel. Silksong is now one of the most highly anticipated indie games, with numerous other titles delaying their releases to avoid competing with it. Despite its success, Silksong will only cost $20, just $5 more than the original Hollow Knight. The game will launch on a wide range of platforms, including a day one release on Xbox Game Pass. The resurfaced Reddit thread serves as a poignant reminder of how far the Hollow Knight franchise and its developer, Team Cherry, have come in the past decade.
