Team Cherry Confirms Hollow Knight: Silksong Livestream and “Special Announcement”

Team Cherry has confirmed a livestream for its long-awaited sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong on August 21 at 10:30AM ET. The company has promised a “special announcement” that could finally reveal the game’s release date or details on new features, gameplay modes, and story depth.

The highly anticipated sequel was first announced nearly seven years ago and has been shrouded in mystery ever since. Rumors have circulated about the game’s release window, with some speculating it may be released this year. The livestream is likely to provide clarity on these matters or offer a deeper dive into the game’s world.

Hollow Knight: Silksong follows the original game, an indie Metroidvania that gained worldwide attention for its unique gameplay and immersive atmosphere. This sequel will take fans back into the world of Hallownest as it explores new themes and storylines.

The livestream is taking place in anticipation of Gamescom, where rumors have suggested a potential release date announcement. However, this may not be the case, with Team Cherry keeping their cards close to their chest for now. Fans will have to wait until August 21 to find out what’s next for Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Note: The original release date mentioned in the article has been corrected to August 21, as per the latest update on August 19, 2025.
