Silksong Kicks Off Gamescom 2025 Announcements

Official 2025 Release Confirmed, Exact Date Coming Later

After years of anticipation, speculation, and memes, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has an official release window. Team Cherry's highly anticipated sequel is scheduled to launch in 2025 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The reveal took place during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, with host Geoff Keighley premiering new gameplay footage as the show’s opening announcement. Although a precise launch date wasn't provided during the presentation, Team Cherry plans to announce it during their own livestream on August 21, 2025.

Closing the Chapter on Memes and Anticipation

For many, this reveal—or more accurately, the confirmation of the reveal—brings a near-legendary wait to an end. Since the game was first announced back in 2019, Silksong has fueled endless rumors, predictions, and good-natured online doubt, becoming one of the most persistent memes in modern gaming. Every major gaming event felt like a possible moment for the sequel’s return, yet continually left fans waiting.

Before Gamescom, one of the biggest teases occurred during Summer Game Fest 2025, where Silksong received a casual mention in the world premiere of Deadpool VR instead of a full segment. The game was also missing from the most recent Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, though it did appear briefly during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct.

Thankfully, the cycle of teases and near-reveals is finally over. Silksong is not only real—it’s also playable. Attendees at Gamescom 2025 can try the live demo for themselves at the Nintendo and Xbox booths on the show floor.
