Silksong fans are hopeful the game will be revealed during Gamescom 2025’s Opening Night Live, spurred by a tweet from showcase host Geoff Keighley. Read on to explore the post, the anticipated live demo, and what fans are speculating about a potential announcement.

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 secure a spot in the Gamescom 2025 announcements. Longtime Gamescom host Geoff Keighley shared a selfie wearing a clown’s detachable red nose, echoing a self-deprecating meme popular among Silksong fans. His caption simply reads, “First time?” followed by a clown emoji and a nudge to watch Opening Night Live (ONL).

Some might interpret this as yet another tease that Silksong won’t be shown—but many fans see it as a positive signal that Team Cherry plans to unveil the game during the event. Last year, ahead of Gamescom 2024’s ONL, Keighley gave fans a clear heads-up:

"Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL," he wrote. "@TeamCherryGames is still cooking."

This year, there’s no such disclaimer—leading fans to believe Keighley’s post is a deliberate nod, a playful callback to those who’ve waited years for any update on Silksong.

Gamescom will take place in Cologne, Germany, with Opening Night Live kicking off on August 19 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. To see the full streaming schedule and other games expected to be revealed, check out our article below!
