Team Cherry, the acclaimed indie studio behind the original Hollow Knight, has officially announced a special Hollow Knight: Silksong livestream scheduled for Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 3:30pm UK time (7:20am PT).

This highly anticipated stream is set to premiere just as Gamescom 2025 kicks off in Cologne, Germany—a strategic moment for the developer as excitement within the gaming community reaches a fever pitch. Hollow Knight: Silksong has remained one of the most eagerly awaited titles in the indie game sphere since its initial reveal.

Serving as a full-fledged sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight (first released on PC in 2017 and later for Nintendo Switch via the eShop in June 2018), Silksong promises a new protagonist, Hornet, an expansive world, and enhanced gameplay mechanics that build on the beloved Metroidvania formula. Team Cherry took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce, “The countdown is on! Join us in 48 hours for a special announcement about Hollow Knight: Silksong!” The announcement included a direct link to the upcoming livestream, generating considerable buzz among fans and industry insiders alike.

While Team Cherry has not made any formal statements about the specific content of the stream, anticipation is high that a definitive release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally be unveiled. In addition to the livestream reveal, Team Cherry has confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable during Gamescom 2025.

This marks a significant milestone for the title, as it will grant journalists, influencers, and select fans their first hands-on experience with the long-awaited game.

Taking place at one of the world's most important video game trade fairs, this playable appearance underscores both the game’s readiness and Team Cherry's commitment to quality. Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to launch on multiple platforms, including PC and Nintendo Switch, expanding on the original’s broad platform success.

Hollow Knight previously achieved over three million global sales across all platforms, highlighting the strong commercial performance and enthusiastic player base awaiting this sequel. As industry attention turns to Gamescom, Team Cherry’s announcement solidifies Silksong as a major focal point of the event.

With a storied legacy of critically lauded design, atmospheric world-building, and challenging gameplay, Hollow Knight: Silksong is poised to become one of the most significant indie releases of the year.
