Prepare your best clown makeup: Team Cherry, the developers of Hollow Knight: Silksong, will be making a “special announcement” about the game on Thursday at 10:30AM ET. The announcement will be shown on Team Cherry’s YouTube channel, and the premiere link is already live.

It’s been a very long wait for solid Silksong news, so much so that the waiting spawned a clown meme. A release window announcement and subsequent delay didn’t help things. But Nintendo shared proof-of-life for Silksong earlier this year when it snuck a vague “2025” release date into its big Switch 2 Direct presentation.

It’s almost time for Geoff Keighley’s next major gaming show. The 2025 edition of Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event kicks off at 2PM ET today, and you can watch everything on the official livestream on The Game Awards’ YouTube channel. Ahead of the main event, there will also be a preshow at 1:30PM ET featuring “multiple new game announcements.”

Keighley has already teased a bunch of the games that will be featured, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem, Ghost of Yōtei, and Ninja Gaiden 4. It seems like there’s even going to be an announcement about the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong, which has been in development for years and is set to launch sometime in 2025. Expect some kind of announcement about the second season of Prime Video’s Fallout TV show, which premieres in December. There will even be a live performance of the excellent music from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
