Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement was far from smooth. Originally planned as downloadable content for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its expanding scope. Since its initial reveal, updates on Silksong have been few and far between, fueling a storm of rumors and speculation.
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 quashed those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, indicating a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more concrete details. Just a week later, Silksong's appearance at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed a release window, much to the delight of its followers.
As the 2025 release window draws closer, fans are breathing in renewed hope and excitement. While the wait continues, the horizon now shines with the promise of hearing that iconic "SHAW" sound once again.
