Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Ongoing Anticipation

While fans had hopes of seeing Silksong during this Indie World Direct, Switchforce emphasizes that it will not be featured. The anticipation surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to build, but so far, the game has not made an appearance in recent showcases.

“You do not have Hollow Knight: Silksong being shown off this Thursday; I’ll just tell you that right now. I know some people are getting very excited, but as far as I’m aware, that is not in the cards, ” Switchforce stated.

Looking Ahead: Gamescom ONL 2025

If there is any new information regarding Silksong, it is likely to be unveiled later this month during the Gamescom ONL 2025, scheduled for August 19, 2025. Attendees can expect to see a new trailer for the game and perhaps a release date, along with opportunities to play it directly on the show floor.

The anticipation has been building for years as fans consistently hope to see Silksong at major gaming events. A confirmed release date, along with the product hitting store shelves, would finally provide the closure many players have been craving.

Stay tuned for updates, as Nintendo’s Indie World Direct might just kick off an exciting phase for indie developers and fans alike!
