This brief glimpse has reignited the fervor among fans who have been eagerly awaiting any news on this long-awaited sequel.
Silksong’s Tumultuous Journey to Announcement
The road to this announcement has been filled with twists and turns. Initially planned as a mere expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong blossomed into a standalone sequel due to its expansive nature. However, the journey from its initial reveal has been marked by long periods of silence, fueling a cycle of speculation and hope among the community.
A significant milestone came in June 2022, when a trailer was shown during an Xbox event, raising expectations for a near-term release. Yet, subsequent delays tempered those hopes. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which now lists a 2025 copyright and mentions GeForce Now compatibility, suggested ongoing development but left fans hungry for more solid details. The confirmation during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct has finally provided the clarity everyone was seeking.
As we approach the 2025 release, the anticipation is palpable. Fans are ready to embrace the renewed excitement and look forward to experiencing the iconic "SHAW" sound once again.
