Anticipating to see Hole Knight: Silksong at Gamescom Opening Night time Dwell? You undoubtedly should not, so long as Geoff Keighley is not mendacity to us.
With each single video games showcase that’s introduced, there may be all the time one sport which you could spot within the replies: Hole Knight: Silksong. It is no shock, ever since its reveal as a standalone title in 2019, followers have been clamouring for a launch date, and there hasn’t been that many updates from Crew Cherry since then. Again in 2022 it was at the least confirmed that it could be coming to Xbox Sport Go day one, and in 2023 the official Xbox Twitter account a lot too confidently claimed it could be out the identical yr. Many showcases later, right here we’re over midway by means of 2024, and there is nonetheless no indication as to when it is perhaps launched – however in fact, that hasn’t stopped followers asking if it’s going to present up subsequent week at Gamescom Opening Night time Dwell. The reply? No.
Yesterday, on his private Twitter account, The Sport Awards host Geoff Keighley mentioned: “Simply to get this out of the way in which, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL. Crew Cherry remains to be cooking.” That’ll clearly be disappointing for followers who had by some means satisfied themselves that this was the one, however actually feels fairly par for the course relating to Silksong at this cut-off date. Actually, it’s going to be out when it is out, and there are always too many video games today anyway, so simply play one thing else whilst you wait, alright?
This is not the primary time Keighley has needed to set expectations for one in all his exhibits. Previous to Summer time Sport Fest, Keighley made it clear that titles like Kingdom Hearts 4, which is a bit MIA in the intervening time, would not be there (however he hasn’t accomplished the identical for Gamescom ONL, so let’s set ourselves up for disappointment, Kingdom Hearts followers).
Nevertheless, the host has supplied an inventory of video games you may anticipate to see throughout ONL, which incorporates Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle, Little Nightmares 3, and Monster Hunter Wilds, in addition to “many new sport bulletins, surprises and particular friends.” We’ll see, Geoff. We’ll see.
