AI-Generated Summary
Matthew Griffin (aka Leth), Team Cherry’s marketing and PR representative, broke his silence on the official Hollow Knight Discord regarding the Deadpool VR incident, calling the unexpected mention of Silksong during the game’s trailer "wild" and unprecedented. Speculation arose about whether this was a deliberate strategy to generate attention or a playful jab from Deadpool VR’s team due to Silksong’s long-awaited release. Leth’s comments coincided with the Frosty Game Showcase, focused on Australian and New Zealand games, though Silksong wasn’t expected to feature. Leaks hinted at a potential Silksong appearance at the Xbox Showcase, though a shadow drop seems unlikely due to unresolved Kickstarter platform preferences. Fans anticipate a release date reveal and new trailer.
