Hollow Knight: Silksong won’t be appearing during Geoff Keighley’s two-hour long Gamescom Opening Night Live broadcast this week. The organizer confirmed that the long-awaited game won’t have a trailer or showing during the live stream on social media Saturday.
Geoff Keighley Confirms Hollow Knight: Silksong Won’t be at Gamescom Opening Night Live
“Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL,” said the event’s organizer Geoff Keighley onX. “Team Cherry Games is still cooking.” It seems like Hollow Knight: Silksong is never going to release as many have hoped to see the game come out this year. As the months tick by, it seems like that won’t be the case.
The sequel’s last appearance during a show was in June 2022 when Team Cherry announced Hollow Knight: Silksong will be joining Xbox Game Pass. This felt like yesterday, but it’s been over two years. Fans have been concerned about how quiet Team Cherry have been during the development of this sequel. Its last message on X was a repost of Good Smile Company sharing pictures of the Silksong Nendoroid. That was over a year ago on June 29. This lack of communication is rather odd.
