During gamescom 2025, we’ll finally get an update on Hollow Knight: Silksong and a possible release date, as developer Team Cherry shared a video teasing a “special announcement.” That will air on YouTube at 7:30am PT/10:30am ET on August 21, 2025. As a reminder, we already knew the game would appear at both the Nintendo and Xbox booths at gamescom this year.
Here’s the teaser placeholder for the Hollow Knight: Silksong “Special Announcement” YouTube reveal. As of time of writing, already over 6,600 people were waiting for it. The teaser blurb on the page didn’t hint at any of the content that will be in it or mention a length for the video.
This is one of the few times Team Cherry broke its silence, in a way, about Hollow Knight: Silksong in 2025. Earlier in May 2025, we learned this game would be a part of an ACMI Game Worlds museum exhibit in Australia. That will happen on September 18, 2025. People who attend the exhibit will get to play it until February 8, 2026.
Hollow Knight: Silksong will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC in 2025, and Team Cherry will make a “Special Announcement” tied to it at 7:30am PT/10:30am ET on August 21, 2025. The game will be at multiple gamescom 2025 booths between August 20-24, 2025, and it will be featured at the ACMI in Melbourne, Australia, between September 18, 2025 and February 8, 2026.
