In a surprising turn of events, the Nintendo Direct on April 2, 2025, finally confirmed Hollow Knight Silksong’s release window. After the initial announcement of Silksong in 2019, information about this game became scarce. Team Cherry itself almost vanished from the face of the planet, leaving all players in an extended anticipation. The prolonged silence led to speculation and even concerns about the game’s future. In essence, Silksong had become a myth, with claims that it might never actually release.

Each game-reveal event since 2019 was packed with anticipation about Silksong’s reveal, and it only took six years to reap the rewards. While we do not have an official release date, the sheer confirmation of a release year puts all worries to rest. Silksong will be available on the Nintendo’s next generation handheld console, the Switch 2.

While we did not have a confirmed release year for Silksong earlier, keen-eyed fans had speculated this reveal. Recently, Hollow Knight Silksong had updated their banners on major storefronts, which hinted at a close reveal. This news has sent waves of excitement through the gaming community and fans of the title.

“Bait used to be real,” was a popular catchphrase in the Silksong community. With this reveal, the bait is no more, and the game indeed is real. In all likelihood, more details including a possible release date might be disclosed in the upcoming events of the Nintendo Direct on April 3 and April 4, 2025.
