Daily Silksong News, a YouTube channel and Discord server that has been posting constant updates on Team Cherry’s action adventure game Hollow Knight: Silksong, has said farewell after 1694 days of uploads.
The final video, which premiered as Hollow Knight: Silksong became available for sale and titled The End, the video featured a stop-motion skit sending the channel off with a face reveal of the host Araraura. It’s peak early internet energy.
Over almost 1700 days, Daily Silksong news accrued 234,000 YouTube subscribers and a Discord community of thousands of dedicated fans, lurkers, and posters. The live premiere of the final Silksong news video had over 15,000 live viewers, with longtime watchers saying their farewells at the cusp of the game’s release.
Daily Silksong News was a running gag that transformed into something larger than its original intent. The vast majority of the channel’s uploads are brief, with host Araraura announcing there was no news. However, on the occasion when there was news, both Araraura and the channel’s community would erupt with energy.
