Silksong Coming in 2025

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

After years of fervent anticipation and endless speculation, the community of the beloved Hollow Knight series has received the news they've been eagerly waiting for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled a glimpse of Hollow Knight: Silksong and, importantly, confirmed its release window for 2025.

The announcement was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-gen console, the Switch 2. Although the clip was fleeting, lasting just five seconds from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel, its impact was profound. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this brief reveal has reignited the excitement and anticipation among fans globally.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History

The journey to this announcement has been fraught with twists and turns. Initially planned as a mere DLC for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong's scope expanded, transforming it into a standalone sequel. However, updates on the game have been scarce, fueling a cycle of rumors and speculation.

A significant moment came in June 2022 with a trailer shown at an Xbox event, sparking hopes for a near-term release. Subsequent delays, however, tempered those expectations. Recent updates to the game’s Steam page, including a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, suggested progress but left fans craving more definitive news. The confirmation during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct a week later was the much-needed clarity that fans had been seeking.

As we approach the 2025 release window, 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 now on the horizon.
