Some lucky souls will get hands-on with Silksong within weeks, with the Hollow Knight sequel confirmed to be playable at Gamescom 2025

An image of Hornet from Silksong engulfed with rage.

Mortals will have their first chance to play Hollow Knight Silksong in less than a month from now. The sequel will appear at Microsoft's Gamescom booth on August 20 and 21, and will be playable on both PC and the forthcoming ROG Xbox Ally, which will also make its hands-on debut at the convention.

Gamescom, of course, is a convention held in Cologne, Germany. Before Microsoft's announcement, the only confirmed opportunity to go hands-on with Silksong was at an Australian museum in September, where it will appear as part of the Game Worlds exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne.
