On Thursday, a ‘special’ announcement regarding Hollow Knight: Silksong is anticipated, yet Geoff Keighley has already reaffirmed that this highly awaited sequel is indeed launching this year. During Gamescom Opening Night Live, he confirmed that the game is “100% actually launching this year” and presented viewers with a glimpse of brief gameplay footage.

In addition, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier noted that he will disclose “the story behind why Silksong took seven years to make” on Thursday.
