It appears to be happening finally — after what has seemed like a year-long hope and dreams game between fans and developer Team Cherry, the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong appears to be right around the corner.

As announced this morning during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Team Cherry is hosting a ‘Special Announcement’ stream, which, if it weren’t the release date, would be such a big troll I could only clap.

Here’s when you’ll be able to watch the stream around Australia & New Zealand:
