Hollow Knight Silksong’s Surprise Release Date Leaked on Steam?

by

The unveiling of Hollow Knight Silksong during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct left many enthusiasts exhilarated, as even a wide 2025 launch window rekindled optimism among supporters of the initial game that hadn’t been felt for years.

2025 still allows for a few months of potential release, assuming there are no more delays. The anticipation for this game has been building for quite some time; even a brief mention during a Nintendo Direct can ignite speculation.

However, keen-eyed spectators noticed an unusual detail on Steam. Although the official launch date for Silksong hasn’t been set in stone, it appears that Steam’s platform is persistently indicating to users that its release could be imminent, perhaps very close at hand.

Given the game’s position among upcoming releases, it’s plausible that we might see its launch on April 29, 2025. This would make the game, which has been in development for nearly a decade, seem to appear suddenly and almost out of nowhere.

Hollow Knight Silksong may release before April ends

Steam’s store offers several methods for viewing upcoming games, including an option where you can organize them based on tags assigned by gamers.

As a passionate gamer on the hunt for fresh Souls-like adventures, I’d recommend checking out games tagged as such. This way, you’ll discover the challenging, immersive experiences that fit your gaming style perfectly!

But one user perusing that tag noticed something strange: Hollow Knight Silksong was there.

This image was captured by TopMob as evidence of its presence, and anyone can verify it by searching for the tag. It’s unusual because the remainder of the list is always arranged chronologically, with upcoming releases appearing much lower in the order.

It’s possible this issue with Steam is not a bug but rather an indication that Hollow Knight: Silksong might be releasing on April 29th. If the release date has been finalized, it could potentially show up in Steam’s backend even if there are no changes to the game’s store page itself.

“Surely it’s just a placeholder date, right?… RIGHT?” said one Redditor, who many agreed with.

The original developer didn’t reveal the launch date for Hollow Knight until two weeks prior. Now, just five days remain! That’s what the OP responded with.

Additionally, I’ve noticed an intriguing parallel across the Adventure and Story Rich sections of Reddit, as this game seems to hold a remarkably comparable place within those rankings too.

In the meantime, some other users were playfully speculating that they might end up being stuck as “Fart King” if “Silksong” isn’t released soon.

It’s currently uncertain, but it’s quite possible that the release of Silksong may come unexpectedly much earlier than many people might anticipate.
