Nintendo has announced an upcoming Indie World that will air on August 7th and feature approximately 15 minutes of footage. The wheels are already turning, and Hollow Knight: Silksong fans have begun putting their makeup on.

SwitchForce, a popular Nintendo YouTuber and insider, has reported that Hollow Knight: Silksong will not be shown during Nintendo’s upcoming Indie World. He did say that fans can look forward to the game at Gamescom, where a demo will be available to all who attend the event. This is undoubtedly sad news, but Hollow Knight: Silksong fans have had many years to get used to disappointment.
The good news is that Gamescom will give a more in-depth look at the game. Fans can expect gameplay footage of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s demo, which will give the best look at the game yet. There is also an expectation that Team Cherry will finally reveal a release date that aligns with its statements about a 2025 release.
Hollow Knight: Silksong will also be shown off at the Melbourne Museum on September 18th as a part of the Game Worlds exhibition. There is reportedly going to be a public demo of the game, as well as unique art showcasing the protagonist, Hornet.
Fans have waited years for Hollow Knight: Silksong, and it seems that the game is finally nearing release. What started out as a DLC for Hollow Knight turned into a sequel and has no doubt ballooned from there. Gamescom may finally be the turning point where not just fans, but all gamers, start to believe the game is real.
