Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of eager anticipation and countless speculations, the gaming community was thrilled to see Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong showcased during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025. The announcement of a 2025 release window has reignited excitement among fans worldwide.

The reveal was part of a montage of upcoming titles for the next-generation console, the Switch 2. Though the segment was brief—just five seconds from 0:15 to 0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was profound. For a game that had remained largely silent for years, this confirmation has revitalized the fanbase’s enthusiasm.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The road to this announcement has been anything but smooth. Originally planned as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates have been few and far between, leading to a storm of rumors and speculation.

A notable moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was revealed during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. Subsequent delays, however, tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, featuring a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, suggested progress but left fans craving more definitive news. Just a week later, the confirmation during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation solidified the 2025 release window.

As we approach the 2025 release, the anticipation is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting the chance to experience that iconic "SHAW" sound once more. While the wait continues, the future now shines brightly with the promise of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
