"Silksong Absent from Gamescom 2024"

Hollow Knight: Silksong fans were left disappointed after Geoff Keighley, the producer and host of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, confirmed that the eagerly awaited sequel to Hollow Knight would not be featured at the event. Dive deeper into Keighley's statement, the current development status of the game, and the community's reaction to this news.

Silksong Skips Gamescom ONL, Confirms Geoff Keighley

Disappointment swept through the Hollow Knight community when Gamescom producer Geoff Keighley took to Twitter(X) to confirm that Silksong, the much-anticipated sequel in the Hollow Knight series, would not be showcased at the event's Opening Night Live (ONL).

Initial excitement had surged among fans when Keighley unveiled the preliminary lineup for the show, hinting at additional unannounced titles with a tantalizing "+ More" notation. This led to widespread speculation that a long-awaited update on Silksong might finally be on the horizon, especially after over a year of silence from the developers.

However, those hopes were quickly extinguished when Keighley definitively stated on Twitter(X), "Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL." He did, however, reassure fans that Team Cherry continues to diligently work on the game.

While the absence of Silksong news was a letdown, Keighley did offer a silver lining with an impressive lineup of other titles set to appear, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Civilization 7, MARVEL Rivals, and more.
