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.

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.
