Silksong Coming in 2025
Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of eager anticipation and numerous speculations, fans of the beloved Hollow Knight series have finally received the update they've been craving. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled Hollow Knight: Silksong with a confirmed release window set for 2025.
The announcement was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for the next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the Silksong segment was fleeting—lasting just five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel—it sent shockwaves of excitement through the gaming community. This brief glimpse after years of silence has reignited the fervor among fans worldwide.
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's scope expanded, transforming it into a full sequel. However, updates have been few and far between, fueling a storm of rumors and speculation.
A notable moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was revealed during an Xbox event, raising hopes for a soon-to-be release. Yet, subsequent delays quelled those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, featuring a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans hungry for more definitive news. Just a week later, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation confirmed the 2025 release window, putting an end to the speculation.
As we approach the 2025 release, the anticipation and excitement continue to build. Fans are ready to breathe in the renewed hype and, of course, indulge in a bit of copium. The wait may be long, but the promise of experiencing that iconic "SHAW" sound once again is on the horizon.
