Silksong Coming in 2025
Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of eager anticipation and relentless speculation, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the news they've been yearning for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong was showcased, and, at long last, a release window was announced: 2025.
The reveal was part of a montage highlighting upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. While the segment was fleeting—only five seconds long, from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was monumental. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this confirmation has reignited the hype among fans worldwide.
Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement has been anything but smooth. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on Silksong have been sporadic, 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. Yet, subsequent delays quelled those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which included a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more concrete information. Just a week later, Silksong appeared to confirm a release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.
As the 2025 release window draws near, fans are breathing in renewed hope and excitement. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" once more.
