Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article:

Wow, so there’s going to be a demo for Hollow Knight: Silksong at Gamescom 2025. I mean, finally, right? It’s about time. PC gamers and people trying out the new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds — those things look neat by the way, kind of like a futuristic gameboy — will be able to dive into Silksong from August 20-24. It’s in Cologne, Germany, which, if you haven’t been, is a pretty amazing city. Anyway, fans have been practically itching for some news. I think the wait has felt as long as a lifetime theater intermission!
It’s almost like a comedy routine now, all these fans creating memes because we just haven’t gotten any real updates. Last year, the game was a no-show at Gamescom, leaving everyone totally bummed out. But here we are, a year later, and attendees are finally getting a sneak peek. Eight years, can you believe it?
Okay, so the demo will be playable on both versions of this new Xbox Ally gadget — which sounds like a mouthful, but might turn out to be great. Even if you’re not in Germany, you can catch live streams on August 20 and 21. Just imagine being at home, popcorn in hand, watching those lucky folks playing what we’ve all been waiting for.
Now, quick backtrack to June 8 — there was some chatter about whether Hollow Knight: Silksong would launch alongside the Xbox handhelds. But nope, Team Cherry was like, ‘not happening.’ Matthew Griffin, this guy from Team Cherry, said it’ll be out before Christmas. But, as of now… radio silence on an exact date.
Not gonna lie, if you’re not going to Gamescom, you’re gonna have to sit pretty a little longer for your Silksong fix. Fingers crossed that maybe Team Cherry will drop a demo for everyone post-event. I mean, they did tweak their Steam page recently, so maybe that’s a hint. Or maybe I’m reading into it too much. Who knows?
