The long wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong might finally be paying off. Team Cherry has confirmed that a special announcement for the highly-anticipated sequel will premiere on Wednesday, August 21st at 7:30 AM PT on YouTube.

For fans in Australia, here’s when to tune in:

• Adelaide (ACST): 11:00 PM, August 21
• Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane (AEST): 12:30 AM, August 22
• Perth (AWST): 10:30 PM, August 21

No one’s saying exactly what’s coming, but the timing is eyebrow-raising. The news drops right as Silksong makes its first public playable appearance at Gamescom 2025, where attendees can try it at Xbox’s booth on PC and the ROG Ally X handheld. With the demo out in the wild, fans are hoping this announcement finally nails down a release date Team Cherry has previously committed to a 2025 launch before the holidays.

Six years of anticipation has built up some serious hype, and the community is already buzzing with speculation. Whether it’s a fresh trailer, a deep dive into gameplay, or just a firm date, the wait for answers is almost over.
