Hollow Knight Silksongwill finally be playable after years of waiting. However, you’ll have to be at Gamescom in order to be among the first to try it out.

Hollow Knight Silksong has become a bit of a meme, with plenty of fans joking thatthe game will never release, let alone become playable. After all, it’s been over six years since Silksong was officially announced, and still, only very few details have been revealed.

However, in the2025 Xbox Showcase, during theannouncement of the ROG Xbox Ally X,we got another glimpse at the game, suggesting it’ll either release around the same time as the handheld or will at least be playable. Well, technically, it’s playable much, much earlier than many expected.

You’ll be able to try out the game on either PC or the new Xbox Ally, which will both be available for demo during the event.
