Hollow Knight: Silksong Preview – gamescom 2025

Hollow Knight: Silksong, Steam’s most wishlisted game, got its spotlight at gamescom 2025 with a demo featuring two contrasting stages: the breezy Moss Grotto and the punishing Deep Docks. Playing as Hornet instead of the Knight brings faster, sharper combat and fresh traversal tricks that shake up the familiar Metroidvania formula.

From effortless platforming in the Grotto to near-heartattack moments in the Docks, Silksong delivers on its hype, balancing accessibility for newcomers with enough spike-filled challenges to satisfy series veterans. If you loved Hollow Knight’s brutal charm, get ready for hornet-stung thrills.
