"Hollow Knight: Silksong Steam Update Hints at 2025 Release"

The buzz around Hollow Knight: Silksong has reached a fever pitch following recent developments. Microsoft's casual mention of the game in an Xbox post, coupled with backend updates to its Steam listing, has set the gaming community abuzz with speculation about an imminent re-reveal and potential release.

On March 24, keen-eyed fans noticed significant changes to the Steam metadata of Hollow Knight: Silksong, as documented on SteamDB. These updates include an opt-in for the game on GeForce Now, Nvidia’s video game streaming platform, alongside revised assets and a crucial amendment to the Steam store page's legal lines, now listing Hollow Knight as copyrighted by Team Cherry 2025 instead of 2019. These changes suggest that something significant related to Hollow Knight: Silksong could be on the horizon, possibly even hinting at a 2025 release.

With Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2, anticipation is mounting. Fans are hopeful that this event might shed light on Hollow Knight: Silksong, especially given the game's announced platforms at its unveiling—Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch—and Microsoft's commitment to bring it to Game Pass on day one.

It's been six years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced, and while the wait has been punctuated by sporadic updates, January saw a surge in speculation fueled by cryptic social media activity from a Team Cherry developer. This sparked theories of a potential re-reveal during the upcoming Switch 2 Direct, and perhaps even a timed exclusive launch on Nintendo's next-gen console.

In June 2022, Microsoft showcased Hollow Knight: Silksong at its Xbox-Bethesda Showcase, promising that all featured games would be playable within the next 12 months. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay past the first half of 2023, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring the game's quality, given its expanded scope.

As the sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight from 2017, Silksong carries immense expectations. It remains one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, a testament to the enduring appeal of its predecessor. In IGN's review of Hollow Knight, we praised the game's compelling world, Hallownest, for its rich storytelling and intricate exploration, highlighting the game's depth and challenge as reasons to immerse oneself fully in its universe.
