By ClaireMay 22,2025

While the Tomodachi Life community is buzzing with excitement following today's Nintendo Direct, the Hollow Knight: Silksong fanbase is once again donning their clown makeup after the long-awaited sequel failed to make an appearance. The anticipation for Hollow Knight: Silksong has turned the community into a whirlwind of memes, predictions, and humorous "silkposts" as they navigate the rollercoaster of hope and disappointment. From last year's back-to-back Directs to the recent frenzy over a chocolate cake photo mistakenly thought to be an ARG, the Silksong community has been on a wild ride.

Of course, now we wait for April 2nd

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }The next Nintendo Direct, scheduled for April 2nd, adds a layer of urgency to the wait. Hollow Knight gained significant popularity after its release on the Nintendo Switch, closely associating the game with Nintendo's platform. The upcoming showcase is expected to unveil details about the Nintendo Switch 2, including its hardware and potential launch titles, making it a prime opportunity for Silksong to re-emerge. Fans are crossing their fingers, hoping that the game's popularity and anticipation will secure its spot in the showcase and signal that it's ready for release.

However, there are some signs that a release date announcement might be on the horizon. A recent Xbox Wire post mentioned Silksong, though it could have been a playful tease. More concretely, recent backend changes to the game's Steam listing, including an updated copyright year, hint at progress. Yet, the community has learned to temper their excitement after numerous false alarms with the game's listings on various console storefronts.

As the community gears up for the next Nintendo Direct, all they can do is wait and dream of the day they'll finally experience Hollow Knight: Silksong.
