Silksong Coming in 2025

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

The announcement was part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console, the Switch 2. Although the clip was brief, lasting just five seconds from 0:15 to 0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel, it was enough to reignite the excitement among fans who had been in the dark for years.

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 standalone sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on its development have been scarce, leading to a frenzy of rumors and speculation.

A notable moment came in June 2022 during an Xbox event, where a trailer was shown, fueling hopes of a near release. Yet, subsequent delays cooled those expectations. Recent updates to the game’s Steam page, showing a 2025 copyright and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more solid details. Just a week later, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed the 2025 release window.

With the 2025 release window now set, fans are ready to breathe in the renewed excitement and anticipation. The wait continues, but the future now shines brightly with the prospect of experiencing that iconic "SHAW" sound once again.
