Recent developments surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong have reignited excitement among fans, suggesting that the much-anticipated sequel may be closer to a re-reveal and potential release than previously thought. Microsoft's mention of the game in an Xbox post, combined with backend updates to its Steam listing, has sparked widespread speculation across social media, Reddit, Discord, and beyond.
On March 24, changes to the Steam metadata for Hollow Knight: Silksong were documented on SteamDB. These updates included an opt-in for the game on Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming platform, modifications to assets, and a significant alteration to the legal lines on the Steam store page. The copyright notice was updated from 2019 to 2025, hinting at a possible release year.
These signs point toward imminent news about Hollow Knight: Silksong, potentially aligning with Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2. Given the timing, fans are eagerly anticipating further announcements that could confirm a 2025 release and possibly unveil the game's availability on Nintendo's next-gen console.
It has been six years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced, a period marked by sporadic updates and long stretches of silence from developer Team Cherry. However, January saw a flurry of activity, with cryptic social media posts fueling speculation about a re-reveal during the Switch 2 Direct and a possible timed exclusive launch on Nintendo's new hardware.
Originally, Team Cherry confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong would launch on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. The game has also garnered significant attention as one of the most-wanted titles for Xbox Game Pass, following Microsoft's agreement to bring Silksong to the service on its release day.

In June 2022, Hollow Knight: Silksong appeared in Microsoft's Xbox-Bethesda Showcase, with an assurance that all featured titles would be playable within the next 12 months. This led to speculation that the game would be released within that timeframe. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay, pushing the release past the first half of 2023. Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry's marketing and publishing lead, explained that the game's scope had expanded, necessitating additional development time to ensure its quality.
As the successor to the critically acclaimed 2017 game Hollow Knight, Silksong carries immense expectations. It remains one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, a testament to its anticipated impact on the gaming community. IGN's review of the original Hollow Knight praised its rich world, compelling story, and the freedom offered by its branching paths and challenging enemies, underscoring the high bar set for its sequel.
