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 critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series 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, announcing a much-anticipated release window for 2025.

The reveal was a part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was fleeting—just five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was monumental. For a game that has been shrouded in silence for years, this confirmation has reignited excitement among fans globally.

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 transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its expanding scope. Since its initial reveal, updates have been sparse, fueling a storm of rumors and speculation.

A notable moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. However, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. A recent update to the game’s Steam page, indicating a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more definitive news. Just a week later, Silksong's appearance at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed the long-awaited release window.

As the 2025 release window approaches, fans are breathing in renewed hope and excitement. While the wait continues, the horizon now glows with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" sound once again.
