Silksong Coming in 2025
Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of eager anticipation and swirling rumors, fans of the acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the news they've been waiting for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong, announcing a much-anticipated release window for 2025.
The announcement came in the form of a brief, yet impactful, five-second clip shown from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel. Despite its brevity, this glimpse of Silksong has reignited excitement among fans worldwide, especially given the game's previous silence.
Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement has been filled with twists and turns. Initially planned as an expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a full sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on the game's progress have been few and far between, leading to a flurry of speculation and rumors.
A notable highlight was in June 2022, when a trailer was revealed during an Xbox event, raising hopes for an imminent launch. Unfortunately, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game's Steam page, indicating a 2025 copyright and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at ongoing development but left fans hungry for more solid details. Just a week later, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct provided the long-awaited confirmation of a 2025 release window.
As we edge closer to 2025, the excitement and anticipation continue to build. Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to once again experience the thrill of the "SHAW" sound that has become synonymous with the Hollow Knight series.
