If you’re a fan of indie gaming, you’ve likely already heard the buzz surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong. Recently, subtle yet significant changes to the game’s Steam listing have sparked widespread speculation about a possible re-reveal and upcoming release.
Spotted by eagle-eyed gamers across social media platforms, Reddit threads, and various gaming communities, the Steam metadata update on March 24 caught everyone’s attention. According to SteamDB, notable modifications include adding Hollow Knight: Silksong to GeForce Now’s opt-in list, updating certain assets, and altering the copyright year from 2019 to 2025 on the Steam store page. These tweaks hint at an imminent announcement, possibly tied to its much-anticipated 2025 release.
With Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2, anticipation is building among fans who hope for clarity soon.
Six years ago, Hollow Knight: Silksong made headlines with its announcement, promising players a continuation of the critically acclaimed journey through Hallownest. Since then, there have been occasional updates, but lengthy periods of silence have kept fans on edge. January 2024 brought renewed interest when cryptic hints from Team Cherry sparked theories about a potential reveal during the upcoming Switch 2 Direct event.
Team Cherry initially confirmed the game would launch on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. Following Microsoft’s acquisition of Team Cherry, Hollow Knight: Silksong is expected to debut on Xbox Game Pass on day one.
