The Rocky Road to Announcement
Silksong's journey to this announcement has been filled with twists and turns. Initially conceived as a mere expansion for the original Hollow Knight, it transformed into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. Updates on its development have been scarce, fueling a flurry of rumors and speculation among the community.
A glimmer of hope appeared in June 2022 during an Xbox event, where a trailer was unveiled, raising expectations for an imminent launch. However, subsequent delays tempered those hopes. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, featuring a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at progress, but it wasn't until the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct that fans received a concrete release window.
