As the sequel to the incredibly popularHollow Knight, few games are as anticipated asSilksong. Despite being revealed in February 2019, development on the game has continued for another six years, leaving fans with few updates during that time. Fortunately, things have recently changed with the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct from April 2, confirming a2025 release window forHollow Knight: Silksong. Unsurprisingly, this recent update has renewed hope that the game could be coming out sooner rather than later. While gamers wait for Team Cherry to drop more official information, a possible clue about the release window has been uncovered.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as JizzX69 shared a discovery they made on the Nintendo Japan website. As seen on the website,Hollow Knight: Silksongwas part of a group of games noted to be released after June 6 for the Switch 2. Based on the translated text, this suggests that the Team Cherry-developed game might not arrive before the new console and will not be a launch-day title.

While this means the release date might still be towards the end of 2025, anotherReddit post from TomNook5085pointed out the previous announcement of aHollow Knight: Silksongmuseum exhibitstarting on September 18. Taking place at ACMI, this exhibit will feature a playable version of the game and displays about the game’s art and development. TomNook5085 believed the game would likely come out before this, potentially narrowing the release window further.
Understandably, this latest potential clue from the Nintendo Japan website has sparkedmore excitement from theSilksongcommunity, which has been waiting years to play the sequel to the original 2017 game. However, fans should temper their expectations until an official announcement from Team Cherry, as things can change during development. In addition, while a release before the opening of the museum exhibit on September 18 makes sense, there is also the chance it could promote a later launch of the game.
Regardless,Hollow Knight: Silksonghas been getting many more encouraging updates over the last month and a half compared to the previous couple of years. It remains to be seen when Team Cherry will announce the official release date for the game, but theXbox Games Showcase event on June 8could be worth keeping an eye on. While nothing about aSilksongappearance has been confirmed, the game was seen during the 2022 showcase.
