Silksong Arrives in 2025

Renewed Excitement for Silksong After Brief Appearance in Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

After years of eager waiting and endless speculation, fans of the beloved Hollow Knight series finally received the news they had been hoping for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong was featured, and at last, a release window was confirmed: 2025.

The reveal was part of a montage highlighting upcoming games for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the clip was short—just five seconds, appearing from 0:15 to 0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—its impact was immense. For a game that had gone quiet for several years, this announcement has reignited excitement among fans around the world.

The Challenging Road to Silksong’s Announcement

The journey to this announcement has been far from smooth. Initially planned as a downloadable expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a full sequel as its scope expanded. Since its first reveal, however, updates on Silksong have been infrequent, leading to a flurry of rumors and speculation.

In June 2022, a trailer was shown during an Xbox event, raising hopes for an upcoming release. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. A recent update to the game’s Steam page, displaying a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans wanting more definite news. Just a week later, Silksong appeared during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct to confirm a release window.

As the 2025 release window draws nearer, anticipation is building, and fans are embracing the renewed enthusiasm. While the wait goes on, the future now shines with the hope of hearing that iconic "SHAW" once again.
