Hollow Knight: Silksong Absence from Gamescom 2024
Silksong Skips Gamescom ONL, Confirmed by Keighley
The Hollow Knight community expressed widespread disappointment when Geoff Keighley confirmed via Twitter (X) that Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel, would be absent from Gamescom Opening Night Live (ONL).
Initial excitement arose after Keighley's initial ONL lineup announcement, which included a "+ More" suggesting unannounced titles. This fueled speculation that, after over a year of silence, a Silksong update was imminent.
However, Keighley later clarified on Twitter (X): "To be clear, no Silksong at ONL on Tuesday." He reassured fans that Team Cherry remains actively developing the game.
While Silksong news is absent, the Gamescom ONL still boasts an impressive lineup including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Civilization 7, MARVEL Rivals, and more. For a complete list of confirmed games and event details, please see the linked article.
