Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of eager anticipation and swirling rumors, fans of the acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the long-awaited news. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirming its release for 2025.

The announcement came as a part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for the next-generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2. The segment was fleeting—only five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—but its impact was monumental. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this brief glimpse has reignited excitement among fans globally.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The road to this announcement has been fraught with twists and turns. Initially planned as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel as its scope expanded. Since its first reveal, updates have been infrequent, fueling a whirlwind of speculation and rumors.

A significant moment came in June 2022, when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, igniting hopes for an imminent release. However, subsequent delays tempered these 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 hungry for more solid news. Just a week later, Silksong made a surprise appearance to confirm its release window during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct.

As the 2025 release window draws closer, 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.
