Silksong Arrives in 2025

Fans Rejoice as Silksong Makes Brief Appearance During Nintendo Switch 2 Showcase

After years of anticipation and endless speculation, Hollow Knight fans finally received the news they've been waiting for. Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong made a surprise appearance during the April 2, 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, officially confirming a 2025 release window.

The game was featured in a rapid-fire montage highlighting upcoming titles for Nintendo's next-generation console. Though the appearance lasted merely five seconds (from 0:15-0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel), this brief glimpse was enough to reignite excitement throughout the gaming community.

The Turbulent Road to Silksong's Release

Silksong's journey to this announcement has been far from smooth. What began as downloadable content for the original Hollow Knight eventually grew into a full sequel. However, since its initial reveal, development updates have been infrequent, fueling endless fan theories and rumors.

Notable moments include the June 2022 Xbox showcase trailer that raised hopes for an imminent release, followed by subsequent delays. The recent Steam page update showing 2025 copyright information and GeForce Now compatibility hinted at progress, but left fans wanting more concrete details - until this week's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmation.

As we count down to 2025, the Hollow Knight community's excitement has been fully rekindled. While the wait continues, this official announcement provides hope that we'll soon hear that iconic "SHAW" in-game once again.
