Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of eager anticipation and countless speculations, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally have the news they've been waiting 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 came as part of a montage highlighting upcoming titles for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2. While the segment was brief—only five seconds long, from 0:15-0:20 of the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was monumental. For a game that has been radio silent for years, this confirmation has reignited the hype for fans worldwide.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The journey to this announcement has been anything but smooth. Initially planned 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 have been sporadic, leading to 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. 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 made a brief appearance to confirm its release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

As the 2025 release window approaches, fans are filled with renewed excitement and anticipation. While the wait continues, the horizon now gleams with the promise of hearing that famed "SHAW" once more.
