Is it finally happening? Team Cherry just announced a livestream for the long-
anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong. It takes place on August 21 at
10:30AM ET. The company says it will be making a "special announcement" about
the game. We don't exactly know what this announcement will be, but it's
starting to feel like a release date or at least a release window.

Rumors have been swirling that the title would finally be getting a release
date during this week's Gamescom festivities, with Geoff Keighley offering a
tease a couple of days ago. This is all happening more than six years after
the game was first announced.

It's possible that the special announcement won't involve the release date at
all, but will instead offer new game modes or a deeper dive into the story.
It's worth noting that reports have indicated that the game would finally see
the light of day this year, though we've been fooled by that kind of thing
before.

For the uninitiated, Hollow Knight: Silksong is the followup to Hollow
Knight, which was an indie Metroidvania that absolutely took the world by
storm. It actually started as DLC for the original game before the developers
realized the scope of their ambitions would take nearly seven years to see
through.

Correction, August 19, 2025, 12:55PM ET: This story originally stated that
the livestream was set for April 21. That was a mistake, as the actual date
is August 21.
