Silksong Kicks Off Gamescom 2025 Announcements

Official 2025 Release Window Announced, Final Date Still Pending

After years of eager waiting, endless speculation, and countless memes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally received an official launch window. Team Cherry's highly anticipated sequel is slated to arrive in 2025 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The reveal took center stage at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, with host Geoff Keighley premiering new gameplay footage as the event's opening announcement. While a precise launch date wasn't provided during the show, Team Cherry plans to share that information during their own dedicated livestream on August 21, 2025.

Closing the Chapter on Memes and Anticipation

For countless fans, this official confirmation marks the conclusion of an almost legendary waiting period. Since its initial announcement way back in 2019, Silksong has been surrounded by constant rumors, predictions, and good-natured online jokes, creating one of gaming's most persistent memes. Every major gaming event seemed like a potential moment for the sequel's grand return, only to leave the community waiting yet again.

The most significant tease before Gamescom occurred during Summer Game Fest 2025, where Silksong received a casual mention during the Deadpool VR world premiere rather than its own dedicated segment. The game was also missing from the latest Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, though it did make a very quick appearance during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct.

The game finally received substantial attention during June's Xbox Games Showcase, where fresh gameplay footage was demonstrated running on the newly revealed Xbox ROG Ally.

Fortunately, the cycle of teases and near-reveals has now ended. Silksong is not only confirmed but actually playable. Visitors to Gamescom 2025 can experience the live demo firsthand at both the Nintendo and Xbox exhibition booths.
