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 beloved Hollow Knight series finally received the news they've been craving. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong, setting a release window for 2025.

The reveal was a part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. Though the segment lasted only five seconds (from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel), its impact was profound. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this confirmation reignited the excitement among fans worldwide.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The road to this announcement was anything but smooth. Initially planned 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 few and far between, fueling a storm of speculation and rumors.

A significant moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was unveiled during an Xbox event, sparking hopes for an imminent release. Yet, subsequent delays quelled those expectations. The recent update to the game's Steam page, showing a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, suggested progress but left fans hungry for more definitive news. Just a week later, Silksong appeared in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, confirming a release window for 2025.

As we approach the 2025 release window, fans are breathing in renewed hype and anticipation. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" once more.
