After years of eager waiting and swirling rumors, fans of the beloved Hollow Knight series finally got the update they've been craving. The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2, 2025, featured a glimpse of Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirming its much-anticipated 2025 release.

The journey to this announcement has been fraught with twists and turns. Initially planned as an expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a standalone sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on the game's development have been few and far between, fueling a cycle of speculation and anticipation.

A notable moment came in June 2022, when a trailer debuted at an Xbox event, raising hopes for a near-term release. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. The recent update to Silksong's Steam page, featuring a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans hungry for more solid details. The confirmation during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct a week later was the clarity fans had been seeking.
