There's a Hollow Knight: Silksong livestream on April 21 at 10:30AM ET
Rumors have been swirling that the title would finally be getting a release date during this week's Gamescom festivities , with Geoff Keighley offering a tease a couple of days ago . This is all happening more than six years after the game was first announced .
It's possible that the special announcement won't involve the release date at all, but will instead offer new game modes or a deeper dive into the story. It's worth noting that reports have indicated that the game would finally see the light of day this year , though we've been fooled by that kind of thing before.
For the uninitiated, Hollow Knight: Silksong is the followup to Hollow Knight , which was an indie Metroidvania that absolutely took the world by storm. It actually started as DLC for the original game before the developers realized the scope of their ambitions would take nearly seven years to see through.

Black Ops 7's campaign is way bigger than you think
We all knew we'd be getting a new Black Ops 7 trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live, but this quick look and pre-order announcement didn't give us the full picture of what this game has in store. Odds are most fans are already busy pre-ordering the game for PS5 or Xbox Series X after learning that Menendez is back, but if you want some more details to push you over the edge, I have some more exciting information about the Black Ops 7 campaign not included in the new trailer. The new campaign has been the main focus of Black Ops 7's marketing thus far, and for good reason. This is the biggest and most evolved a Call of Duty campaign has been in years. Not only does this campaign feature 4 player co-op across its globetrotting and mindbending story, but there will now be a new endgame and progression system to match the systems in multiplayer and Zombies. This includes XP, a battle pass, challenges, and more, but what exactly does this look like? After beating the campaign, players will unlock a new 12th mission called Endgame. Using the same operators from the campaign, you will be able to drop into an extraction-like scenario in Avalor with up to 31 players to earn new skills, abilities, calling cards, weapon camo, and everything else you'd expect to be earning in multiplayer or Zombies. But, just like an extraction shooter, you will lose all your operator progress if your squad gets wiped out. Recommended Videos The team does promise that the Black Ops 7 campaign will have a satisfying ending. Set in 2035, this game will be the ultimate conclusion of story threads set up in both Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. The four playable characters are familiar faces in David Mason, Mike Harper, and Eric Samuels, but one newcomer to the series is Leilani Tuuola. The campaign isn't the only pillar of Black Ops 7 with new twists. Multiplayer is getting traditional prestige, but also the return of weapon prestige, plus a new Skirmish mode that features 20 vs. 20 battles, encouraging fast movement. Sharing weapon builds is also easier than ever, thanks to the ability to send your weapon builds directly to friends or share them online with a unique code. We're all excited about Zombies, but Dead Ops Arcade 4 might steal the show. We'll learn way more about multiplayer and round-based Zombies later on, but the Black Ops 7 campaign has way more to be excited for than previous years. Black Ops 7 will launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on November 14, but there's a beta running from October 2 through October 8 for those who preorder or are Game Pass subscribers.

Everything announced at Opening Night Live 2025: Black Ops 7, Resident Evil, and more
The summer used to be associated with the big E3 announcements, but Gamescom has always dwarfed that showcase in terms of size and spectacle. PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo still host individual presentations throughout the year, but Opening Night Live is one of the few events where all platform holders and publishers put their best foot forward to show off the latest and greatest upcoming video games. This year, we will be treated to new details on Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem, Fallout season 2, and a ton of surprises no one saw coming. This is going to be a long show, said to be around 2 hours long, so hang out with me as I update this article with everything announced as it's announced. Everything else announced There was far too much to go into detail on every game shown, so here's a quick list of everything else we got to see today:
