Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of eager anticipation and swirling speculations, fans of the Hollow Knight series finally have the news they've been waiting for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, 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. Although the clip was fleeting, lasting just five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel, its impact was monumental. For a game that had been largely silent for years, this confirmation has reignited enthusiasm among fans worldwide.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The journey to this announcement has been anything but smooth. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, since its initial reveal, updates 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 hope for an imminent release. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. Recent updates to the game's Steam page, featuring a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more concrete details. A week later, Silksong made its appearance to confirm a release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation.

As the 2025 release window looms closer, fans are once again filled with hope and renewed excitement. The wait continues, but the horizon now shines brightly with the promise of experiencing the iconic "SHAW" sound once more.
