Silksong Mentioned During Deadpool VR Premiere

Silksong Trailer Absent from Summer Game Fest 2025

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Team Cherry's beloved indie platformer, was a major topic of discussion at Summer Game Fest 2025. Fans eagerly awaited news following recent rumors of a shadow drop and Steam package updates earlier in June. However, the only reference to Silksong came from an unexpected source—the world premiere of Marvel's Deadpool VR.

During the presentation, host Geoff Keighley read a message from the Marvel superhero that concluded with a cheeky 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 Deadpool's quip with a mix of amusement and disappointment over the following days. Some fans shared lighthearted memes about the incident, while others expressed genuine frustration, dubbing it "The Deadpool Incident" and blaming it for the missing Silksong trailer.

Meanwhile, Marvel's Deadpool VR is confirmed for an exclusive launch on Meta Quest 3/3S in late 2025. For a full rundown of announcements and titles featured at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our comprehensive article linked below.
