Following Microsoft's subtle tease of Hollow Knight: Silksong in an official Xbox post, recent updates to the game's Steam listing have ignited rumors of an imminent re-reveal and potential launch.

Gamers across social platforms have noticed Steam metadata updates for Hollow Knight: Silksong on March 24. SteamDB records show the changes include GeForce Now support enrollment, updated assets, and importantly, an adjustment to the copyright notice from 2019 to Team Cherry 2025.

These developments suggest Hollow Knight: Silksong may finally be approaching release, potentially targeting 2025. With Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2, fans might soon receive official confirmation.

January proved particularly eventful for eager fans when cryptic developer activity on Twitter/X triggered widespread speculation about a possible Switch 2 Direct showcase - potentially including timed exclusivity for Nintendo's next-generation console.

Recall that Team Cherry originally confirmed Hollow Knight: Silksong for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch platforms. The title also ranks among the most anticipated Game Pass additions following Microsoft's agreement for day-one availability on its subscription service.

Nintendo Switch 2 - First Look

Microsoft featured Hollow Knight: Silksong during its June 2022 Xbox-Bethesda Showcase, announcing all showcased titles would become playable within twelve months. This suggested Xbox's expectation of the sequel's imminent release.

By May 2023, Team Cherry delayed Hollow Knight: Silksong beyond its previously announced first-half 2023 window. Marketing lead Matthew Griffin explained: "While we aimed for early 2023, development continues to expand the game's scope. We're committed to polishing Silksong before release."

As the successor to 2017's masterpiece Hollow Knight, Silksong carries tremendous expectations while maintaining top wishlist status on Steam. Our original Hollow Knight review praised: "Hallownest's richly detailed world invites exploration through branching paths teeming with secrets and challenges - making every moment in Hollow Knight immensely rewarding."
