Silksong Coming in 2025

Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

After years of eager anticipation and endless speculation, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the news they've been yearning for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirming a much-awaited release window for 2025.

The reveal was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was fleeting—just five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was profound. For a game that had been quiet for several years, this confirmation reignited excitement among fans globally.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The journey to this announcement has been far from smooth. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on the game have been sparse since its initial reveal, fueling a whirlwind of rumors and speculations.

A significant moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game's Steam page, which included a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more concrete details. Just a week later, Silksong appeared to confirm its release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

As the 2025 release window draws nearer, fans are once again filled with anticipation and excitement. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" sound once more.
