Don't think anybody will blame you (or notice) if you go missing for a week from the 4th.
Imma be honest I have had much longer times away from checking this community than just a week. I kinda am in charge just because I made it first. Would be happy to let someone else take the ropes. :p
You'll have to play first, and quickly, just to avoid spoilers when modding! I do not envy you!
See also: Bloomberg interview with the team on why it took so long.
Seems like the TLDR is just they were working on it and didn't want to spoil anything. That's why they were radio silent. They also expected it to release way earlier but the game kept ballooning in scope.
ITS REAL
Fuuuuuuuuck YESSSSSSSSS
So this is apparently a sequel but I like the art style. Do I have to know anything about the first game to play this one?
We don't know yet if the first game's story ties in heavily to this one, but I would recommend buying Hollow Knight anyway because it's a fantastic game!
We don’t know because the reviews aren’t out yet or because effectively DDoS’d everywhere trying to buy game?
