In a surprising moment during the Marvel's Deadpool VR world premiere at SGF 2025, Hollow Knight: Silksong received a shoutout. Here's what Team Cherry had to say about the situation and their unexpected involvement.
Silksong Mentioned During Deadpool VR Premiere
No Silksong Trailer at Summer Game Fest 2025
Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Team Cherry's acclaimed indie action-adventure platformer, was a major topic of discussion at Summer Game Fest 2025. Fans were eagerly awaiting new details following recent rumors of a surprise release and Steam package updates earlier in June. However, the only reference to Silksong came as a completely unexpected mention during the world premiere of Marvel's Deadpool VR.
Geoff Keighley, host of SGF 2025, read a message from the Marvel superhero Deadpool, which concluded with a humorous remark: "You're going to do me a solid and skip that Silksong trailer, so you can pimp my revolutionary VR game adventure that will shock the industry, probably."
The Silksong community responded to the Merc with a Mouth's comment with a mix of amusement and disappointment in the following days. Some fans shared lighthearted memes about the incident, while others expressed genuine frustration, dubbing it "The Dead Pool Incident" and blaming it for the absence of a Silksong trailer.
Meanwhile, Marvel's Deadpool VR has been officially announced for an exclusive launch on Meta Quest 3/3S in late 2025. For a full rundown of all the announcements and games featured at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our article linked below!
