Silksong Coming in 2025
Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of fervent anticipation and endless speculation, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the news they've been yearning for. On April 2, 2025, during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong with a release window set for 2025.
The announcement came as part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was brief—just five seconds long, from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was immense. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this confirmation reignited the hype among fans globally.
Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement was far from smooth. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. Since its first reveal, updates have been sparse, fueling a whirlwind of rumors and speculations.
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. The 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 concrete details. A week later, Silksong's appearance at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed the eagerly awaited release window.
As the 2025 release window draws near, fans are breathing in renewed excitement and anticipation. The wait continues, but now the horizon shines brightly with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" sound once more.
