Xbox will let you play Silksong at Gamescom in August
Microsoft will let Gamescom attendees play a demo of the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong on the new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. It's part of more than 20 titles that will be available at the Xbox booth at Gamescom, including a new theater experience to demonstrate The Outer Worlds 2. Silksong will be available to play on the new Xbox Ally devices at Gamescom, just months after Xbox president Sarah Bond revealed in June that Silksong will be available 'at launch and in Game Pass' when Asus' new handhelds launch later this year. Gamescom attendees will also get to try out Microsoft's new Xbox and Windows UI, as well as play Roblox, Sea of Thieves, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 on the new Xbox Ally handhelds. Grounded 2 will also be at Gamescom, as well as the first public hands-on of Ninja Gaiden 4. We've been waiting three years to get a Silksong release date, after Microsoft originally said in 2022 that the sequel to the indie side-scrolling action platformer was coming within 12 months. A playable demo at Gamescom sure makes it even more likely that Silksong will debut later this year. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.
