Silksong Coming in 2025

Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

After years of eager anticipation and swirling rumors, fans of the beloved Hollow Knight series finally have the news they've been waiting for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry showcased Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirming a much-anticipated release window of 2025.

The reveal was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for the next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was fleeting—just five seconds long, from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—the impact was immense. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this brief confirmation has reignited the excitement and anticipation among fans globally.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The road to this announcement has been far from smooth. Initially planned as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-blown sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on its development have been scarce, fueling a frenzy of rumors and speculation.

A significant moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was revealed during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent launch. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which included a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more definitive news. A week later, the appearance of Silksong during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed the long-awaited release window.

As the 2025 release window draws near, fans are once again filled with renewed hope and excitement. While the wait continues, the promise of experiencing that iconic "SHAW" sound once more is now within sight.
