Deadpool VR Teased by Silksong Developer

The world premiere of Marvel's Deadpool VR at SGF 2025 included a surprising mention of Hollow Knight: Silksong. Find out how Team Cherry reacted and what this means for the highly anticipated sequel.

Silksong Gets a Surprising Name-Drop at Deadpool VR Premiere

Silksong Trailer Absent from Summer Game Fest 2025

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to Team Cherry's acclaimed indie action-adventure platformer, was one of the most eagerly awaited topics at Summer Game Fest 2025. Fans had been hoping for new reveals after recent shadow drop rumors and a Steam package update earlier in June. However, the only reference to Silksong came as an unexpected shout-out during the global premiere of Marvel's Deadpool VR.

SGF 2025 host Geoff Keighley read a message from Marvel's Deadpool, which concluded with a cheeky remark: "You're going to do me a solid and skip that Silksong trailer so you can pimp my revolutionary VR game adventure that will shock the industry, probably."

In the days that followed, the Silksong community responded to the Merc with a Mouth with a mix of amusement and disappointment. Some fans shared lighthearted memes about the incident, while others expressed genuine frustration, dubbing it "The Dead Pool Incident" and blaming it for the lack of a Silksong trailer.

Meanwhile, Marvel's Deadpool VR is confirmed for an exclusive launch on Meta Quest 3/3S in late 2025. For a full rundown of all the announcements and games featured at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our article linked below.
