Recent updates to the Steam listing for Hollow Knight: Silksong have ignited a flurry of excitement and speculation among fans. On March 24, changes documented on SteamDB revealed updates to the game's metadata, including an opt-in for GeForce Now, modified assets, and a significant shift in the copyright year on the Steam store page from 2019 to 2025. These alterations suggest that a re-reveal and possibly a release of Hollow Knight: Silksong could be on the horizon, potentially as early as 2025.

The anticipation around Hollow Knight: Silksong is palpable, especially with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2. Fans are buzzing with theories that this event might unveil new details about the game, and some even speculate that it could launch as a timed exclusive for Nintendo's next-generation console.

It's been six years since the initial announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong, and while there have been intermittent updates, the development journey has been largely shrouded in mystery. January saw heightened speculation following cryptic social media posts from a Team Cherry developer, further fueling hopes for an imminent reveal.

Originally announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, Hollow Knight: Silksong also garnered significant attention after Microsoft confirmed its inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass on day one. This announcement came during the Xbox-Bethesda Showcase in June 2022, where Microsoft promised that all showcased games would be playable within the next 12 months. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay beyond the first half of 2023, with Matthew Griffin, the marketing and publishing lead, stating, "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 it's gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can."

As the sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight released in 2017, Silksong carries immense expectations. It remains one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, a testament to the enduring appeal and anticipation surrounding Team Cherry's latest project. IGN's review of the original Hollow Knight praised its "compelling and rich" world of Hallownest, highlighting the game's depth of exploration and challenging gameplay, which fans hope will be mirrored and expanded upon in Silksong.
