Capitalize on immense "Hollow Knight: Silksong" fan anticipation and frustration.
The repeated delays of highly anticipated games like "Hollow Knight: Silksong" create a vacuum of content and a surge of discussion among an intensely dedicated fanbase. This presents a prime opportunity for creators and marketers to engage with this passionate audience. Businesses could offer fan-made merchandise (unofficial or officially licensed if possible), develop similar-genre indie games as "placeholders," or create high-quality fan content (lore videos, art, theories) that keeps the community engaged. Marketing campaigns could leverage the shared experience of waiting by offering "survival kits" or countdown-related promotions. Gaming platforms could highlight other metroidvania titles to satiate demand.
