Hollow Knight: Silksong Demo Impressions and Release Date Revealed at Gamescom 2025

Cologne, Germany – Gaming enthusiasts attending Gamescom 2025 were treated to a highly anticipated demo of "Hollow Knight: Silksong," the sequel to the critically acclaimed "Hollow Knight." The demo confirmed the game's official release date: September 4, 2025. Players experienced firsthand the evolution of the beloved Metroidvania series. A key highlight was the protagonist Hornet's significantly more agile movements compared to the Knight from the first game. Her new diagonal aerial attack is described as a crucial combat mechanic, adding depth to encounters. Hornet's expanded arsenal, featuring a needle and thread, also introduces fresh strategic options. The world design in "Silksong" marks a notable departure, with exploration now focused on ascending through new, complex, and visually varied environments, a contrast to the primarily downward progression of its predecessor. While familiar abilities like the dash remain, the game offers a wider array of combat options, exploration secrets, and labyrinthine connections. Vandal, the media outlet that shared the demo impressions, noted that "Silksong" feels like a natural evolution rather than a complete revolution of the "Hollow Knight" formula. However, they emphasized that playing the demo was as gratifying and mysterious as the original, suggesting that fans will find the familiar yet enhanced experience they desire. The preview also raised questions about whether developer Team Cherry might still have more significant revelations in store for the game's full release.
