The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation following recent updates to the Steam listing for Hollow Knight: Silksong. On March 24, keen-eyed fans noticed significant changes in the game's metadata, as documented on SteamDB. These updates include an opt-in for Hollow Knight: Silksong on GeForce Now, Nvidia's game streaming platform, modifications to game assets, and a critical update to the legal lines on the Steam store page. The copyright now reads Team Cherry 2025, suggesting a potential release year.

This flurry of activity has sparked rampant speculation about an imminent re-reveal and possible launch, particularly with Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2. Fans are eagerly awaiting any news, especially after a six-year wait since the game's initial announcement. Throughout this period, Team Cherry has intermittently shared updates, but long stretches of silence have left fans hungry for more information.

The excitement ramped up in January when cryptic social media posts from a Team Cherry developer fueled speculation about a reveal during the Switch 2 Direct, with some even suggesting a timed exclusive launch on Nintendo's next-generation console. It's important to recall that upon its announcement, Hollow Knight: Silksong was confirmed for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. Moreover, following Microsoft's deal with Team Cherry, the game is highly anticipated as a day-one addition to Game Pass.

In June 2022, Microsoft featured Hollow Knight: Silksong in its Xbox-Bethesda Showcase, promising that all showcased titles would be playable within the next 12 months. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay past the first half of 2023, with marketing and publishing lead Matthew Griffin 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 from 2017, Silksong carries immense expectations. It remains one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, a testament to its eagerly awaited status. IGN's review of the original Hollow Knight praised its rich world of Hallownest, full of stories to discover and challenging enemies, emphasizing the game's value and depth.
