Summary
Hollow Knight: Silksonghas recently been confirmed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and gained an official release window during the recent Nintendo Direct.Hollow Knight: Silksongis one of the most eagerly awaited games of the year, and the fanbase was glad to see it finally getting an official release window.
Originally announced in 2019,Hollow Knight: Silksonghas been in development for a while, and developer Team Cherry has mostly remained silent about the project in recent years. Afterrecent disappointments withHollow Knight: Silksong, some fans grew increasingly frustrated with the lack of news surrounding the title, and many were expecting to get more information about the game during the recent Nintendo Direct.
Fortunately,Hollow Knight: Silksongappeared during the April 2 Nintendo Direct, confirming a release window for 2025, and that the title will be available for the upcoming Switch 2, which will be out on June 5. While the game was only showcased in a very short teaser that features the protagonist Hornet exploring caves and fighting enemies, its appearance was enough to excite the fanbase. On social media, the reception of this news was very positive, asHollow Knight Silksongfans celebratedthat the game “was actually real.”
Hollow Knight: Silksong Confirms 2025 Release Window
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to tell whenHollow Knight: Silksongwill be out, as any guess between June and December 2025 is essentially fair game. A few weeks ago,Hollow Knight: Silksonggained an encouraging update, as the Steam repository for the game was updated in late March, which at least indicated that Team Cherry was still working on the title. However, the current status of development remains unknown, as Team Cherry only confirmed earlier this year that the game “is progressing well.”
Previous predictions from the leaker Extas1s, for example, have indicated thatHollow Knight: Silksongcould be released by June 2025, but this does not seem very likely. The Switch 2 will be released early in June 2025, andSilksongdid not have an exact release date, so it’s much more probable that the title will be available later rather than sooner during the year. Obviously, it’s possible thatHollow Knight: Silksongcould be delayed, and only be out in 2026, but if the developers shared this release window after so much time, it’s possible that they are confident in it. In any case, the release ofHollow Knight: Silksongwill likely mark an important time for gamers in 2025, as many gamers are incredibly excited about the title.
