As Gamescom grows, its team talks Opening Night Live and the specter of Silksong

Some questions are immortal. What is the meaning of life? What is love? Hollow Knight Silksong? The latter has appeared in every chat at every streamed showcase since the game's reveal back in 2019, and oftentimes has been left without any real answer. But following the news that Team Cherry's highly anticipated Metroidvania will arrive this year, and that a playable demo will be available at Gamescom as part of Xbox's ASUS handheld collaboration, it finally feels like we may, in fact, get a solid release date pretty soon. Ahead of the event, I asked Gamescom directors Stefan Heikhaus and Tim Endres that age old question, and while they didn't tell me too much, this year's event is still shaping up to be amazing.
