Silksong Coming in 2025
Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of eager anticipation and rampant speculation, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series have finally received the news they've been longing for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong was showcased, and a release window was announced: 2025.
The reveal was part of a montage highlighting upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was brief—just five seconds long, from 0:15 to 0:20 of the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was monumental. For a game that had been largely silent for years, this confirmation has reignited the hype among fans worldwide.
Silksong's Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement has been far from straightforward. Originally conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong evolved into a full-fledged sequel due to its expanding scope. Since its initial reveal, updates on Silksong have been sporadic, leading to a whirlwind of rumors and speculations.
Notably, in June 2022, a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. However, subsequent delays dampened those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which shows a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans yearning for more concrete information. Just a week later, Silksong's appearance during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation confirmed a release window.
As the 2025 release window approaches, fans are gearing up for more anticipation and excitement. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" once more.
