Hollow Knight: Silksong Hints at Imminent Release Amid Steam Page Updates

LOS ANGELES, March 24, 2025 — The excitement surrounding the long-awaited video game “Hollow Knight: Silksong” has surged following critical updates to its Steam page, leading fans to speculate about an impending release. The updates, which include a new copyright date of 2025 and compatibility with Nvidia’s GeForce Now, have fans hopeful that the game will finally hit the market this year.

Initially intended as downloadable content for the beloved 2017 game “Hollow Knight,” the sequel is now a highly anticipated standalone title developed by Team Cherry. Since its announcement in February 2019, communication about the game has been limited, leaving the community eagerly awaiting any news.

The changes made to the Steam metadata on March 24, 2025, included refreshing assets and the addition of support for Steam Family Sharing. Notably, the copyright has been updated from 2019 to 2025, indicating that the game is moving forward in development.

Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry’s head of Marketing and Publishing, reassured fans that the development of “Hollow Knight: Silksong” is progressing smoothly. In a statement from January 2025, he said, “We had planned to release in the first half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.”

Fans are particularly interested in the upcoming Nintendo Direct event on April 2, 2025, where it is speculated that “Hollow Knight: Silksong” could be featured as a significant title for the Nintendo Switch 2. The excitement surrounding this possibility is palpable, with comments flooding social media platforms as enthusiasts discuss their hopes for a substantial reveal.

Recent leaks suggest that the game may not only be unveiled during these events but could also potentially launch as a timed exclusive for the new Nintendo console. Additionally, gaming insiders claim that “Hollow Knight: Silksong” could be included in Microsoft’s Game Pass service upon release, further raising interest among subscribers.

The community’s anticipation has reached a fever pitch, particularly after a leak from a Spanish source hinted at a release no later than June 2025. Reddit users have expressed optimism, with one fan exclaiming, “WE MIGHT WIN THIS YEAR BABY LET’S GO,” reflecting the vibrant enthusiasm surrounding the game.

Despite this excitement, some long-time followers of the series approach the updates with caution. Previous delays and promises from developers have left a legacy of skepticism among fans. Hopes of a revitalized timeline often bring reminders of the notorious delays faced by other titles, like “Half-Life 3.”

Ultimately, the updated copyright notice serves as a glimmer of hope, as fans interpret it as a sign that preparations for an announcement may be underway. With March drawing to a close and April on the horizon, the community remains dynamic, eagerly awaiting a signal that their long-standing patience may soon yield fruit.
