Expecting to see Hollow Knight: Silksong at Gamescom Opening Night Live? You definitely shouldn’t, as long as Geoff Keighley isn’t lying to us.

Yesterday, on his personal Twitter account, The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley said: “Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL. Team Cherry is still cooking.” That’ll obviously be disappointing for fans who had somehow convinced themselves that this was the one, but honestly feels pretty par for the course when it comes to Silksong at this point in time. Really, it’ll be out when it’s out, and there are constantly too many games these days anyway, so just play something else while you wait, alright?

This isn’t the first time Keighley has had to set expectations for one of his shows. Prior to Summer Game Fest, Keighley made it clear that titles like Kingdom Hearts 4, which is a bit MIA at the moment, wouldn’t be there (but he hasn’t done the same for Gamescom ONL, so let’s set ourselves up for disappointment, Kingdom Hearts fans).

However, the host has offered a list of games you can expect to see during ONL, which includes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle , Little Nightmares 3 , and Monster Hunter Wilds , as well as “many new game announcements, surprises and special guests.” We’ll see, Geoff. We’ll see.
