Though Team Cherry has been quiet during Silksong's long development period, a surprise Hollow Knight Silksong Special Announcement stream appeared on its YouTube channel a few hours before Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19, 2025. After years of waiting, the Hollow Knight Silksong release date is right around the corner.
Hollow Knight: 5 Locations That Could Return In Silksong
There's an argument to be made for these Hollow Knight locations to return in Silksong.
Though nobody is quite sure what the Silksong special announcement will reveal, there are a few things that are sure to be announced. This guide explains how to watch the Hollow Knight Silksong special announcement and everything we think will be announced during the surprise Silksong stream.
What to Expect from the Silksong Special Announcement
What Will the Special Silksong Stream Reveal?
Silksong was one of the first games mentioned by host Geoff Keighley at Gamecom Opening Night Live, who said the game is 100% coming out this year and revealed new gameplay footage, but did not reveal the game's release date.
Instead, many now expect that the Silksong release date will be revealed during the Silksong Special Announcement stream on Team Cherry's YouTube channel. Though fans saw new footage of the game at Gamescom Opening Night Live and some have experienced the beginning of the game at the event's demo booths, expect additional new gameplay scenes to be shown off during this special stream.

With Silksong (hopefully) right around the corner, make sure to check off these important to-do list items in Hollow Knight.
What we don't know is whether this stream will be a deep dive into the extremely highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, a brief trailer with a release date, or something else entirely. Either way, we expect to see new footage and (hopefully) a release date.
