For example, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is not the only one, as Paradox and The Chinese Room will not be present at the event that could be called the European E3…

But it’s been five and a half years (!) since this game was announced, as we first heard about Hollow Knight: Silksong in February 2019, but back then it was only planned as a DLC for the base game. However, as the project grew during development, the development team, Team Cherry, eventually expanded it into a standalone game. Since then, we’ve also learned that the long-awaited metroidvania title will be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers on launch day, and it’s official that it’s also coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

However, the game was originally scheduled for release in the first half of 2023. It’s been over 14 months since then, and we still haven’t gotten our hands on Hollow Knight: Silksong, which Team Cherry postponed indefinitely until May 2023 (we think Nintendo’s yet-to-be-announced Switch successor may have played a role in this). But since then, everyone has been waiting for it to show up at the next big event, and then it never happened. Now it’s Gamescom’s turn: host Geoff Keighley confirmed on Twitter that the Hollow Knight sequel will miss the event because Team Cherry is “still cooking”.

Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL. @TeamCherryGames is still cooking. pic.twitter.com/FlQHlc26zo

That’s why Hollow Knight: Silksong is being treated as a meme by many, because the project is very much lost to the public, and it really needs to show some signs of life soon. If not, we wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo paid them something to be one of the opening titles for Switch 2, though we’ve also recently heard about that platform coming later, so we might not expect it until spring 2025, and you wouldn’t want the big N to just get it later than the others. True, it could come to Switch…

But this is all unofficial!
