What a week.
The expected ports like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 were there, but abrand new Bloodborne spiritual successor?
That feels like a battle royale game?
And is a Switch 2 exclusive?
Nobody could have predicted that.
Another major scoop appeared in the middle of a sizzle reel.
And melt our collective brain it did.
Not only was Silksongpresent, which nobody expected, it had a release window.
Naturally, the internet took this incredibly normally.
Remember The Last Time A Console Manufacturer Announced The Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date?
Silksong did not release within the subsequent 12 months.
Nor did it release in the 12 months after that.
Nor the 12 months afterthat.
The stream also froze and nearly cut off the very brief Silksong clip.
Imagine the outrage if Hollow Knight fans had missed out on these meagre scraps.

Put simply: I dont believe it.
I dont think that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released in 2025.
I dont care what Nintendo says.
I dont care if weve seen a little clip.
I cant see it happening.
When Will Hollow Knight: Silksong Release?
I wont believe it until we have something more solid than a release window.
Truth be told, Id even be sceptical about any specific date were given.
Maybe Im just jaded.
It wouldnt be two seconds in a sizzle reel, itd be a Direct all of its own.
Now Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring have been released, Silksong is the most highly anticipated game in production.
Sure, people areexcited about GTA 6, but Silksong is different.
Xbox also listed Silksong as an upcoming game alongside other 2025 releases,hidden in a random blog.
Hardly a sign of confidence.
Silksong has a dedicated fanbase.
Im sure itll be fine.
But Silksong is a game for the gamers.
Your favourite games journalists favourite game.
Its fanbase represents all of that.
When I say that Silksong is the most anticipated game currently in development, I mean it.
The anticipation will never reach the fervourous pitch of Silksong.
This is a feeling that can only be achieved by multi-year delays and an absence of communication.
I dont know when Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released.
Nobody does for sure.
Team Cherrymight, but even then Im not sure.
The only thing we can do in the meantime is hope.
Hope it releases in 2025.
Hope it lives up to mighty expectations.
And hope that were still around to play it when it finally reaches our screens.
For a few hours, Hollow Knight: Silksong wasn’t coming to Nintendo Switch.
