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 have finally received the news they've been longing for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong with a confirmed release window of 2025.

The reveal was part of a montage highlighting upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. Though the segment was fleeting—just five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—it was enough to send shockwaves through the gaming community. For a game that had remained largely silent for years, this brief confirmation has reignited global excitement.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The road to this announcement has been far from smooth. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong's scope grew until it became a full-fledged sequel. Since its initial reveal, updates have been scarce, fueling a storm of rumors and speculation.

A notable moment came in June 2022, when a trailer was shown during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. However, subsequent delays quashed those expectations. The recent update to the game's Steam page, displaying a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more solid information. Just a week later, Silksong made a surprising appearance, confirming a 2025 release window at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

As the 2025 release window draws near, fans are breathing in renewed excitement and anticipation. The wait continues, but the horizon now shines brightly with the promise of experiencing that iconic "SHAW" sound once again.
