A special announcement from Team Cherry has been revealed for Hollow Knight: Silksong.
They've put up a video on YouTube that will premier at 2:30pm UTC / 3:30pm BST on August 21st. We don't know exactly what it will be for though, so speculation across social media is already going wild about it. This could just be a fresh proper gameplay trailer, a release date announcement or perhaps they might even surprise us all with a direct release along with the video (we can dream right?).
You'll be able to watch it on YouTube or directly below:

I continue to be amazed by just how wild the wait is for Hollow Knight: Silksong. There's not many times I've seen this kind of hype for a game in my 16 years doing this. The pressure that Team Cherry are feeling must be unimaginable. Will it live up to expectations?
Edit: Ah! I see 21th is the date of the announcement, not the date of the release!

We are proud to announce that Hollow Knight Silksong is coming soon! Quarter 3 2028 to be exact! Reserve your copy today!
That'd be something, announcing a three year exclusivity period for Switch 2.

I'm almost surprised they didn't give up with all the weight on their shoulders.
