Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Finally Coming In 2025
Fans Have Been Burned Before, Are Cautiously Optimistic

After a brief period of media activity around 2019, Team Cherry stopped sharing frequent updates and went quiet onSilksong’sstatus,causing many fans to fear that the title had been abandoned.However, after years of no updates, the game was once again revived from being dormant when one of the creators ofHollow Knightteased the game’s return with a profile picture of achocolate cake that sent the community into a frenzy.
A little while later, fans were rewarded for their patience whenHollow Knight: Silksongwas revealed to be coming sometime in 2025during the April 2 Nintendo Directfor the Nintendo Switch 2. Since this reveal,the team hasn’t shared much more about the imminent arrivalofSilksong,leaving fans tospeculate about release dates from cryptic tweetsand hope that the game is, in fact, coming this year. Removing the trailer from the Steam page may be the next step toward announcing whenSilksongwill arrive on PC and consoles.

Reddit Is Abuzz With Guesses And Silkposts
As the release ofSilksongnears, the community has taken to Reddit and Discord to express their excitement. Amid “Silkposts” (i.e. fake news and memes), some potentially solid predictions have cropped up. Some fans, likeHanLeas, point out that the previous trailer six years ago was released on Valentine’s Day, then removed on Good Friday this year.
