Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of eager anticipation and a whirlwind of speculation, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the news they've been waiting for. On April 2, 2025, during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation, Team Cherry unveiled that Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to launch in 2025.
The announcement came as a fleeting glimpse in a montage of upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch 2. Although the segment lasted only five seconds (from 0:15 to 0:20 in the Switch 2: Partner Sizzle Reel), the impact was profound. For a game that had been shrouded in silence for years, this confirmation has reignited the excitement among fans worldwide.
Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The road to this announcement has been anything but smooth. Initially planned as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. Since its first reveal, updates have been scarce, fueling a storm of rumors and speculation.
A significant moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was showcased during an Xbox event, sparking hopes for a near-term release. However, subsequent delays tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which included a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress but left fans craving more solid information. Just a week later, Silksong appeared in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, confirming the much-anticipated release window.
As 2025 draws closer, the excitement and anticipation are palpable. Fans are ready to breathe in the renewed hype and, of course, enjoy the famous "SHAW" sound once again.
