The recent buzz around Hollow Knight: Silksong has reignited excitement among fans, fueled by subtle yet significant updates to the game's Steam listing and Microsoft's mention in an official Xbox post. On March 24, keen-eyed observers noted changes to the Steam metadata, as reported on SteamDB. These updates included an opt-in feature for Hollow Knight: Silksong on GeForce Now, Nvidia's game streaming platform, modifications to assets, and a notable change in the copyright year from 2019 to 2025 on the Steam store page. These developments suggest that a re-reveal and possibly a 2025 release could be on the horizon.

The anticipation is further heightened with Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2. Fans are speculating that this event might be the stage for a significant announcement regarding Hollow Knight: Silksong, especially given the game's confirmed launch platforms at its announcement—Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. The potential for a timed exclusive release on Nintendo's next-gen console has also been a topic of fervent discussion, particularly after cryptic social media activity from a Team Cherry developer in January.

It's been six years since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced, and while there have been intermittent updates, the long periods of silence from Team Cherry have only intensified the community's eagerness. The game's inclusion in Microsoft's Xbox-Bethesda Showcase in June 2022, with a promise of a release within the next 12 months, initially raised hopes. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay past the first half of 2023, citing the need for more time to polish the game, which has grown significantly in scope.

Hollow Knight: Silksong follows the critically acclaimed 2017 game, Hollow Knight, which IGN praised for its compelling world, rich storytelling, and the vast array of secrets and challenges it offered. As one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, Silksong carries immense expectations. With its potential inclusion in Microsoft's Game Pass on day one, thanks to a deal with Team Cherry, the game is poised to reach a wide audience upon release.

As we approach the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the gaming community remains on the edge of their seats, hopeful for news that will finally bring Hollow Knight: Silksong to their screens.
