In a surprising moment at SGF 2025, Marvel's Deadpool VR world premiere included an unexpected shoutout to Hollow Knight: Silksong. Here's what Team Cherry had to say about the situation and how they responded.

Silksong Referenced During Deadpool VR Premiere

Summer Game Fest 2025 Delivered No Silksong Trailer

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the eagerly awaited sequel to Team Cherry's beloved indie platformer, was a hot topic of discussion at Summer Game Fest 2025. Fans had high hopes for new reveals, fueled by recent shadow drop rumors and a Steam package update earlier in June. However, the only reference to Silksong came as a complete surprise during the global premiere of Marvel's Deadpool VR.

Geoff Keighley, host of SGF 2025, read a message from the Marvel superhero Deadpool that ended with a cheeky remark: "Do me a favor and skip that Silksong trailer, so you can hype up my groundbreaking VR adventure that's sure to shake up the industry."

The Silksong fanbase responded to the Merc with a Mouth with a mix of amusement and disappointment in the following days. While some shared lighthearted memes about the incident, others took it more seriously, blaming "The Deadpool Incident" for the absence of a Silksong trailer.

Meanwhile, Marvel’s Deadpool VR is scheduled to launch as a Meta Quest 3/3S exclusive in late 2025. For a full rundown of announcements and games featured at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our article linked below!
