Silksong has just been confirmed for a 2025 release! Dive into the details about the game and its tumultuous announcement history.
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, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the news they’ve been longing for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong was showcased, and, at long last, a release window was announced: 2025.
The reveal came as part of a montage highlighting upcoming titles for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was brief—just five seconds long, from 0:15-0:20 of the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was monumental. For a game that has been largely silent for a few years, this confirmation has reignited the excitement among fans worldwide.
Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement has been far from smooth. Initially conceived as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong evolved into a full-fledged sequel due to its expanding scope. Since its initial reveal, updates on Silksong have been sporadic, fueling a whirlwind of rumors and speculations.
A notable moment came in June 2022, when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. However, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which now shows a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans yearning for more concrete information. A week later, Silksong's appearance at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed a release window, reigniting the excitement.
As the 2025 release window approaches, fans will continue to hold onto hope and breathe in the renewed hype. While the wait persists, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that famed "SHAW" once more.
