It’s not often that a statement creates such excitement within the gaming circle. Official updates regarding the long-anticipated sequel are finally becoming available!
Hollow Knight: Silksong is certainly set for release in 2025.
But now: My associate Dani has the opportunity to experience Silksong at gamescom…
We can’t maintain our seriousness, apologies! There’s a justification for this: Hollow Knight: Silksong has turned into a running gag, an endless source of humor in gaming culture, and the most sought-after Steam game globally.
When will Silksong launch?
has been a favorite query on Reddit and other platforms for several years. Not a single Nintendo Direct passes without fans, including the writer of these words, setting themselves up for disappointment.
Now it’s genuinely happening: A livestream is scheduled for August 21, 2025 – and it has already attracted viewers 48 hours prior!
Livestream for Silksong: Here’s how to view it!
The start time is August 21, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. local German time. You can check out the stream on YouTube. No need to hunt for it, here’s the link. Just keep this tab open if you don’t want to miss a moment:
Indeed: developer Team Cherry has declared a Special Announcement
. This caused over 17,000 viewers to log into YouTube at times on August 19, 2025, a full two days before the broadcast, despite nothing being available to watch yet. If that’s not excitement, we aren’t sure what is…
Release date? Surprise launch? The speculation is rampant
What will be unveiled on August 21? If only we were aware. One thing is for sure: it must be significant, something tangible. Anything less would provoke the fans, who are weary from the seemingly never-ending wait, to take action, and the small Cherry team is aware of this.
The roster of possibilities is extensive and not always serious:
- A final release date might be disclosed after over six years of relative silence – likely targeting 2025.
- The game could be launched as a shadow drop right when the livestream commences, making it instantly available.
- Team Cherry might announce yet another release delay pushing it to 2026.
- The small development team may reveal that issues arose and they have restarted the Silksong development from the beginning. As a minor compensation, there’s Hollow Knight: The Definitive Remastered Edition Deluxe HD.
As you can tell, anything is possible! Argh, the anticipation! What’s your take? Will you tune in on August 21 at 4:30 p.m., or is Hollow Knight: Silksong not on your radar? If you are among the waiting fans, what do you expect will be unveiled? A release date? New gameplay? Feel free to express your predictions in the comments!
