Silksong Coming in 2025

Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

After years of eager anticipation and numerous speculations, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the update they've been longing for. On April 2, 2025, during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong with a confirmed 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.

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 grew into a full-fledged sequel due to its expansive scope. Since its initial reveal, updates on Silksong have been sporadic, fueling a whirlwind 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 dampened those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which showed 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 surprise appearance during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, confirming the 2025 release window.

As the 2025 release window approaches, fans will continue to breathe in the renewed hype and anticipation. The wait continues, but the horizon now glows with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" once more.
