Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of eager anticipation and endless speculation, 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, confirming a much-anticipated release window: 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—just five seconds, from 0:15-0:20 of the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was seismic. For a game that had been largely silent for years, this confirmation reignited the excitement for fans worldwide.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The journey to this announcement has been far from 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. However, since its initial reveal, updates on Silksong have been sparse, fueling a whirlwind of rumors and speculation.

A significant moment came in June 2022, when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes for an imminent release. Subsequent delays, however, tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, showing a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more definitive details. Just a week later, Silksong appeared to confirm its release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

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