Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of eager anticipation and a plethora of speculations, 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 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. Although the segment was brief—only five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was monumental. For a game that had been radio silent for several years, this confirmation has reignited the excitement among fans worldwide.

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 evolved into a full-fledged sequel due to its growing scope. However, since its initial reveal, updates on Silksong have been sporadic, fueling a whirlwind of rumors and speculations.

A notable moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. Subsequent delays, however, dampened 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 concrete information. Just a week later, Silksong made a surprising appearance to confirm a release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

As the 2025 release window nears, fans are once again inhaling copious amounts of copium and basking in the renewed hype. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that famed "SHAW" once more.
