In a surprising moment during the Marvel's Deadpool VR world premiere at Summer Game Fest 2025, Hollow Knight: Silksong received a direct shout-out. Discover Team Cherry's involvement and their official reaction to this unexpected turn of events.
Silksong Gets an Unexpected Name-Drop at Deadpool VR Premiere
No Silksong Trailer Materializes at Summer Game Fest 2025
Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly-anticipated sequel to Team Cherry's acclaimed indie action-adventure platformer, was a major topic of discussion at Summer Game Fest 2025 (SGF 2025). Fans were eagerly awaiting news, fueled by recent rumors of a shadow drop and a Steam package update in early June. However, the game's only appearance was an unexpected and humorous mention during the world premiere for Marvel's Deadpool VR.
Geoff Keighley, the host of SGF 2025, read a note ostensibly from the Marvel superhero Deadpool. It concluded with a characteristically cheeky request: "You're going to do me a solid and skip that Silksong trailer so you can pimp my revolutionary VR game adventure that will shock the industry, probably."
The Silksong community responded over the following days with a mix of amusement and frustration at the Merc with a Mouth's antics. While many fans created lighthearted memes about the situation, others took a more serious view, half-jokingly blaming "The Dead Pool Incident" for the absence of a Silksong trailer.
Marvel's Deadpool VR is confirmed for an exclusive launch on Meta Quest 3/3S in late 2025. For a full rundown of all announcements and titles showcased at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our detailed article linked below.
