"Silksong has been a social experiment orchestrated by Team Cherry that has now concluded. Thank you everyone for your participation," writes one fan on Bluesky. That could be an answer, maybe the devs just want to see how long they can tease us all for.

Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight that has the player take control of the mysterious Hornet, has been removed from Nintendo's eShop. While the game is still listed on the PlayStation Store, Xbox, Steam, and the Nintendo eShop in the EU, the circumstances of why it was removed from Nintendo's North American eShop is a mystery.

Fans eagerly awaiting the long overdue release of Hollow Knight: Silksong were given a huge scare after the game was seemingly taken down from a major gaming site. Hollow Knight is a 2017 award-winning 2D action adventure title that takes players through a vast ruined kingdom of insects and heroes.

Hollow Knight fans were subjected to a few hours of panic earlier today, as Silksong somehow briefly vanished from the Nintendo eShop.
