Silksong fans speculate the game may appear at Gamescom 2025's Opening Night Live following a cryptic tweet from host Geoff Keighley. Discover what the post reveals about a potential live demo and why enthusiasts believe an announcement might finally arrive.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Fans Alerted by Tweet From Gamescom Host Geoff Keighley
A Possible Hint for the Gamescom 2025 Opening Night Live Showcase
Hollow Knight: Silksong may have secured a spot in Gamescom 2025's announcements. Veteran host Geoff Keighley shared a photo wearing a removable red clown nose, echoing a meme format Silksong fans often use while waiting for news. The caption read: "First time?" accompanied by a clown emoji and teasing viewers to watch Opening Night Live (ONL).
While some might interpret this as another disappointment signal, dedicated fans argue Keighley's post suggests Team Cherry could finally break their silence during the showcase. His approach contrasts sharply with last year's Gamescom 2024 ONL warning:
"Just to clarify upfront - no Silksong this Tuesday at ONL," he stated. "@TeamCherryGames remains hard at work."
The absence of similar disclaimers this year fuels theories that Keighley's playful reference might hint at actual news - a subtle acknowledgement of fans' enduring anticipation since the game's initial release window announcement.
Gamescom 2025 takes place in Cologne, Germany, with Opening Night Live scheduled for August 19 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. For complete streaming details and other anticipated game reveals, explore our dedicated event preview below.
