Exciting news for fans of the acclaimed Hollow Knight series: Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially been confirmed for a 2025 release! Dive into the details of this long-awaited sequel and its tumultuous journey to the announcement.
After years of eager anticipation and swirling speculations, fans of the Hollow Knight series finally received the update they've been yearning for. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation on April 2, 2025, Team Cherry unveiled a glimpse of Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirming a release window of 2025.
The reveal was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the segment was fleeting, lasting only five seconds (from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel), its impact was monumental. For a game that had been silent for years, this brief confirmation reignited the fervor of fans worldwide.
The journey to this announcement has been anything but smooth. Initially planned as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its expanding scope. Since its initial reveal, updates have been sparse, leading to a whirlwind of rumors and speculations.
A notable moment came in June 2022, when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of an imminent release. However, subsequent delays tempered these 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 craving more concrete information. A week later, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation confirmed the release window, reigniting excitement.
As we approach the 2025 release window, fans are indulging in renewed hope and excitement. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of experiencing that iconic "SHAW" sound once more.
