Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially been confirmed for a 2025 release, bringing an end to years of eager anticipation from fans worldwide. The announcement came during the Gamescom Opening Night Live event, where host Geoff Keighley shared the news alongside fresh snippets of gameplay. This marks the first substantial update since Team Cherry’s previous showcase back in 2022.
Earlier in the week, the studio hinted that more information would be revealed in a special YouTube premiere, building excitement around what players can expect from the long-awaited sequel. Since its initial reveal in 2019, the absence of a concrete release date had turned into a recurring topic of speculation and humor within the gaming community, with fans often jokingly attempting to “summon” news during major gaming events.
Development updates have been sparse over the years, with Team Cherry focusing intently on polishing the experience while occasionally dropping small teases to keep interest alive. The studio recently indicated that they were targeting a holiday season launch, ideally timed to coincide with the release of new hardware like the ROG Ally handheld. As a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass, Silksong will be accessible to a broad audience right from the start.
For those attending Gamescom in Germany later this month, there’s an added treat, a playable demo will be available at the Xbox booth from August 20–24. This hands-on opportunity offers a first look at the refined combat, expanded world, and new abilities awaiting players in the kingdom of Pharloom.
