Uh oh, Geoff Keighley is teasing Hollow Knight: Silksong astatine Gamescom Opening Night Live. Is it...finally time? Dare we hope?

If that supra station means thing to you, you've managed to steer wide of the Hollow Knight: Silksong fervor for years now, somehow. Since 2021, Hollow Knight fans person utilized images and emojis of clowns (and specifically, the 1 close below) to goof astir their changeless anticipation for quality astir Silksong, particularly astir large presentations similar Nintendo Directs, The Game Awards, oregon Summer Game Fest. Every clip a caller presumption rolled around, Silksong fans would station clown images and gag astir putting connected clown makeup, efficaciously acknowledging that it was cartoonish to anticipation for Silksong quality but that they were hoping anyway.

Of course, Keighley could conscionable beryllium posting himself successful a clown outfit for the heck of it, but I can't ideate that would beryllium advisable fixed the fervor of the Silksong audience. Earlier this year, fans went nuts implicit a cocoa barroom recipe, successful a determination which went truthful acold arsenic to unit the developers to marque a statement, truthful teasing that assemblage astir apt isn't the champion idea.

Still, Keighley's tease seems similar a beauteous definite thing. We cognize Silksong is coming retired successful 2025 barring immoderate unexpected delays, and there's a demo of the crippled playable connected the amusement level of Gamescom this week. We besides know, via a leak, that the ROG Xbox Ally volition motorboat connected October 16, and Xbox's Sarah Bond has antecedently stated that Silksong would beryllium connected the strategy erstwhile it launched. If everyone's telling the information and determination person been nary last-minute changes, that means Silksong should beryllium retired successful the adjacent 2 months sometime. And that would besides mean we're owed for an actual, real, confirmed merchandise day immoderate 2nd now. Who's got a large showcase going connected wherever specified an announcement would marque a immense splash? Keighley, of course.

Now, there's ever a accidental that we're each conscionable putting connected our clown constitution contiguous lone to beryllium disappointed erstwhile again tomorrow. Grab a portion of cocoa cake, instrumentality connected that rubber nose, and let's fastener successful for Opening Night Live tomorrow. Silksong silksoon?
