On the eve of Gamescom Opening Night Live, host Geoff Keighley shared a selfie sporting a clown nose, possibly hinting at an announcement for Hollow Knight: Silksong during the event. This post references a popular meme in the gaming community, highlighting the long wait for updates regarding the game.

Keighley’s playful photo serves as a reminder for fans to watch the broadcast at 2:00 PM Eastern on August 19. This light-hearted gesture is backed by rising anticipation as attendees report the setup of Hollow Knight: Silksong booths for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox at the Gamescom venue.

Moreover, Sarah Bond, Xbox president, has indicated that the game will be available at launch for the ROG Xbox Ally handheld, suggested to release on October 16. This development fanned the flames of excitement among gamers in a year filled with sparse news related to Hollow Knight: Silksong.

For fans not attending Gamescom, another chance to experience Hollow Knight: Silksong will present itself during the Game Worlds exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, in September. With both the event booths and Keighley’s humorous message, the possibility of news surrounding the game is more hopeful than ever.
