Silksong Coming in 2025
Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of fervent anticipation and numerous speculations, fans of the beloved Hollow Knight series finally received the update they've been yearning for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirming a much-anticipated release window for 2025.
The announcement was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was brief—only five seconds long, appearing from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was profound. For a game that had been largely silent for years, this confirmation reignited excitement among fans globally.
Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The road to this announcement has been fraught with twists and turns. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel as its scope grew. However, since its first reveal, updates have been scarce, fueling a flurry of rumors and speculation.
A notable moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was featured during an Xbox event, igniting hopes for an imminent release. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. A recent update to the game’s Steam page, which indicated a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, suggested progress but left fans craving more solid information. Just a week later, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed the 2025 release window, bringing clarity and renewed excitement.
As the 2025 release window nears, fans are set to indulge in a mix of anticipation and "copium." The wait continues, but the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" sound once again.
