Silksong Copium/Hype Renewed After Brief Clip During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
After years of eager anticipation and swirling rumors, fans of the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight series finally received the update they've been yearning for.

The reveal was a part of a montage showcasing upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Silksong’s Rocky Announcement History
The journey to this announcement has been far from smooth. Initially planned as a downloadable content expansion for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong grew into a full-fledged sequel due to its ambitious scope. However, updates on its progress have been sparse, leading to a cycle of rumors and speculation.
A notable moment came in June 2022 when a trailer was shown during an Xbox event, sparking hopes of a soon-to-be release. Subsequent delays, however, tempered those expectations. The recent update to the game’s Steam page, which included a 2025 copyright date and GeForce Now compatibility, hinted at ongoing development but left fans craving more solid information. Just a week later, the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirmed the 2025 release window, much to the delight of fans.
With the 2025 release window now set, the anticipation and excitement are palpable. Fans are ready to embrace the renewed hype and the promise of once again experiencing the iconic "SHAW" sound.
