Silksong Skips Gamescom ONL, Confirms Geoff Keighley

The anticipation for Silksong had been reignited when Keighley hinted at additional unannounced games in the initial lineup for the show. This tease, marked simply as "+ More," led many to believe that an update on the long-awaited sequel might be on the horizon, especially after over a year without any news from Team Cherry.

However, Keighley quickly dispelled these hopes with a clear statement on Twitter(X): "Just to get this out of the way, no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL." Despite the disappointment, he reassured fans that Team Cherry remains dedicated to the game's development.

While the absence of Silksong news was a letdown, Keighley did provide some excitement for the event, announcing a stellar lineup that includes eagerly awaited titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Civilization 7, MARVEL Rivals, and more.
