After 1,700 videos, a YouTuber calls it quits. He has achieved his goal and uploaded a video every day for over 4 years without exception.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the most highly anticipated games that fans have been waiting for more than 7 years. After the release became tangible at gamescom 2025, the game is now live on Steam and a complete success. The release of the game temporarily even crashed some shop servers – the demand was too high.
However, the fact that Silksong has finally been released also means that one person can finally rest: A YouTuber who had made it his mission to report absolutely every day about Silksong – even when there was nothing to report at all.
Who is it about? This is about YouTuber Araraura, who created the channel “Daily Silksong News”. The first video was published in early 2021 and many more followed since then to report on the latest information about Silksong. It didn’t even matter that often there were no new updates.
Did he make a video every day? Yes. Since the channel started, there has been a video on the channel every single day without exception. If the operator could not upload the “news” for some reason, he had them recorded by other people. This ensured that a video was indeed released every day.
What were the videos about? If anyone plans to watch all 1,700 videos in retrospect, they are likely to be disappointed quickly. Because the vast majority of the videos consist solely of announcements that there is no new information – this can usually be recognized beforehand by the thumbnail of the video. Almost always, it is merely stated “There is nothing new to report” and then the video ends after a few seconds.
YouTuber bids farewell happily and exhausted
In his final video on the channel, the YouTuber explains that the journey is finally over: “We have finally made it. After 2,393 days of waiting for Silksong, which is a really long time.”
In addition, he admits that he probably would have lost interest in Silksong a long time ago if he hadn’t been running this channel.
The success of the channel can best be described as fairly erratic. Many videos receive only a few thousand views, but there are always some big outliers that sometimes have several hundred thousand views – usually when there is indeed some new information.
In the community, the channel was so popular that there is already a parody channel about it – the “Daily Silksong DLC News” on YouTube, where they want to report on a potential DLC. Whether the project can show the same endurance as its inspiration remains to be seen.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is a complete success. But it is just one of the outstanding titles that will be released in 2025. We have compiled a list for you with 16 new games from 2025 that you should keep an eye on.
