Hollow Knight: Silksong is launching in 2025

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight, has a new release year window: 2025, as revealed in a very brief clip during today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct.

Silksong was first announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and the Nintendo Switch in 2019. It was originally intended to be DLC for Hollow Knight, but according to developers Team Cherry, “it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned.” The game will take place in a new kingdom, with new moves and new weapons at your disposal as well as new enemies to take on.
