Hollow Knight: Silksong coming to Summer Game Fest 2025? Release of highly anticipated Metroidvania may be close

by

It appears that Hollow Knight: Silksong could potentially be out for release very soon, as indicated by recent updates on Steam’s database (SteamDB) and leaked information.

Changes in the Steam database

While checking Steam game mods, it appears that just a short while ago, ten language versions for the achievements in ‘Silksong’ were included, along with an age category for future trailers. Additionally, enthusiasts spotted extra files being uploaded to the servers of Valve’s platform.

Developers often implement last-minute adjustments just prior to the launch of the game, meaning eager players might anticipate an imminent release of the sequel. The game, as per reports, is slated for a 2025 release, a fact that was verified during the April Nintendo Direct broadcast.

Rumors about Hollow Knight: Silksong

The rumors surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong are stirred up by Reddit leaks. According to one user who claims a “reputable source,” it’s speculated that the trailer for the game will be unveiled during the Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025. It appears the trailer has been uploaded to YouTube, but the content remains hidden from the public at this time.

Moreover, it was planned to submit the completed version of “Silksong” to both Microsoft and Nintendo for approval, indicating that the game is nearly ready to launch on their platforms. This implies that the follow-up might be released soon, potentially as early as June.

Indeed, even though things might seem promising, it’s prudent to approach this information tentatively until further confirmation. However, it’s worth mentioning that these hints aren’t the first suggesting a possible release of the second Hollow Knight game, over six years since the announcement of Silksong.

It seems that Team Cherry isn’t feeling the urge to publicize their upcoming game prior to its launch, which mildly frustrates their fan base. Interestingly, there are other developers who have chosen a surprise release strategy, foregoing initial announcements.

By September 2025, the game we’ve been talking about will be showcased at the Game Worlds exhibition held at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. This means visitors can get a hands-on experience with it. Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to launch on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and even the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. This exhibition appearance serves as a strong indication of its upcoming summer release.
