We waited all these years for Hollow Knight: Silksong to reemerge and all we got was a teaser

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the DLC-turned-sequel to among the best indie metroidvanias, has been in limbo for what felt like a decade. Prolonged radio silence and a – seemingly unexpectedly-prolonged – growth interval has earned the sidescrolling motion sport one thing of an ethereal standing.

Earlier than almost every major games showcase, folks would theorise that this or that one is the one that may lastly, truly deliver us an up to date look, and possibly some type of launch goal. Nicely, none of these panned out, till at this time.

Silksong’s phase lasted barely a minute. We didn’t get a brand new trailer, launch date, or perhaps a correct teaser. As a substitute, Keighley delibered a message on behalf of developer Workforce Cherry to allow us to all know the sport is certainly popping out this 12 months.

The true trailer – and presumably extra information – will arrive in a YouTube premiere on the developer’s channel this Thursday, so at the very least we received’t be ready an excessive amount of longer.

We’ve form of suspected for some time that Silksong’s return can be at this 12 months’s gamescom. For it to indicate up on the Opening Evening Reside stage, after all, was extra of an informed guess. Very similar to he managed to be the primary to disclose Elden Ring’s gameplay to the world, Keighley can also be answerable for at this time’s long-anticipated take a look at Silksong.

There have been, after all, a number of different clues that pointed in the direction of the 2025 gamescom being the present to lastly deliver the sport again into the limelight. A couple of weeks in the past, it was confirmed to be playable on the present flooring, which hardly ever occurs with out some type of accompanying announcement or media blast.

It was additionally not too long ago confirmed to be a launch title for Xbox and Asus’ ROG Xbox Ally X, and the hand-held console is itself being unveiled at gamescom. So all of it form of made sense, which is nice information for all of the Hollow Knight followers who most likely couldn’t take one other sumer occasion block with out Silksong making an look.
