Gamescom 2024 is almost here and the Opening Night Live, hosted by Geoff Keighley is set to feature a bunch of games and showcase what’s in store for fans. However, one long-awaited title, Silksong will still not be there.
The news was confirmed by host Keighley himself, probably for fans to lower their expectations of seeing the game at the event. This has saddened fans who’ve waiting quite long for Team Cherry to reveal more about the sequel.
Silksong Will Not Be at Gamescom
After the success of Hollow Knight, the developer announced the sequel, Silksong in 2019 with a trailer and a dev diary video, exciting fans. But since then there has been no other information about the game and when it might launch.
Fans were hoping for the game to be featured at the Gamescom ONL but host Keighley has confirmed that it will be not be at the event. He said that the developer is “still cooking.” The host possibly did this to manage fan expectations.
Fans are desperate for details on the game and as the game has already celebrated its fifth anniversary this year, they are now clamoring for a launch date. However, this doesn’t seem happening soon. After the disappointment at Summer Games Fest and other events, fans are left with similar heartbreak.
Fans Are Left Disheartened With The Game’s Absence at Yet Another Event
The event is set to showcase a number of titles including Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and many more. Unfortunately, for Hollow Knight fans, the wait continues and they are not happy about this.
One fan said, “I can’t handle it anymore.“ Many other fans still hope that the game may launch by the end of the year. The original game released in 2017 and was a massive success but since the reveal, there is no major update on the game.
After the announcement of the game, the developer has been quiet about it. The developer did announce at the Xbox/ Bethesda Games Showcase in 2022 that the game would be coming to Xbox and Game Pass on day one. The game was then scheduled to launch in 2023 but was delayed.
As per the latest update, the game is still under development and the team is hard at work. Although there are no details on the game’s launch window, fans hope that the developer will probably bring it by next year, if not this year, and hope that the game surpasses the experience of the original title.
