Nintendo Life has also confirmed the game supports 120Hz on Switch 2 with its TV Mode. Now social media is awash with images and videos of the booths, as well as clown memes. This post, from a Silksong subreddit mod, sums up the community's feeling.

Black Ops 7 to Hollow Knight Silksong, we're on the floor in Germany to go hands-on with all the most exciting upcoming games

I went hands-on with Hollow Knight Silksong at Gamescom, and the legendarily long wait for the Metroidvania sequel might have been worth it.

After a long, long time we finally got our hands on Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong. Here's what we thought.

I played a small demo of Silksong at gamescom - the first time the game has been playable to the public, and where the press had chance to play the same demo as the huddled masses - and one thing struck me harder than anything else: this is harder than Hollow Knight.

There's even been an official message from the Dreamers—uh, they sacrificed a bunch of people by banning them, it's a long story: "48 HOURS REMAIN. SILKSKONGERS, THIS IS IT! IT'S NOT BAIT! IT'S OVER! THEY BROKE THE SILENCE! SOME EXPECTED RADIO SILENCE EVEN AFTER THE DATE WAS REVEALED! BUT NAY! THIS IS IT! SKONGERS, WE HAVE WON!"

Silksong is sure to appear at gamescom 2025, but fans have further reason to believe in some sort of announcement about the game during the opening ceremony of the German fair.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is real and coming in 2025, but you'll have to wait longer still for a release date. Delivering on a tease from earlier this week, Hollow Knight: Silksong opened proceedings at Gamescom ONL, with host Geoff Keighley revealing that the highly anticipated metroidvania will launch in 2025.

Silksong, the upcoming sequel to the highly anticipated 2D action Metroidvania developed by Team Cherry. Get more information regarding the release date soon for Hollow Knight: Silksong, launching in 2025.

Gamescom’s Opening Night Live is finally on its way, offering a variety of new game announcements, and one of them could be Silksong.
