In what might be the most unfortunate case of unintentional baiting,Hollow Knight Silksonghopefuls' ears perked up when host Geoff Keighley revealed that the next game to be shown was from a small indie team from Australia. Sadly, it was not Team Cherry, but Untitled Goose Game developer House House with a “cooperative online walker-talker” called Big Walk.
If you think that Australia has myriad small indie teams, you’d be right, though I imagine fans were extra aware of Keighley’s word choice as Team Cherry’s socials on Twitter and Facebook both feature a ‘small indie games team in Adelaide, South Australia.’ That, and that many of them have been awaiting an age for a meaningful update. It’s the hope that kills you.
