However, after sitting through an Indie World showcase and a partner showcase at Nintendo Direct for a total of about 40 minutes, I closed the event stream tab with great disappointment and a *sigh*. Some popular X accounts, including Opera GX, shared their disappointment, saying: “something, no Silksong on Nintendo Direct, …”
This is not wrong. It seems that at every game reveal event, Hollow Knight Silksong is used as bait to grab viewers’ attention. The companies understand the love for Hollow Knight and even if there are no new developments, they will somehow keep viewers watching just out of anticipation.
We see a lot of new game reveals and even when they’re good, they fade away due to the hype and the wait for Silksong’s (alleged) announcement. Fans are officially using protagonist Hornet’s clown face as a meme.
One of the X users even made a post claiming that the release date of Silksong was leaked on the Nintendo eShop. Although there are no official confirmations, it will upset some fans as they will have to deal with the fact that the release date is not yet known.
In our Hollow Knight: Silksong release date prediction, we predicted that it would 1st quarter 2025. So if all goes well, there should be an announcement soon. But for now, let’s all get over it together. Were you also happy to see a new announcement for Silksong? Tell us about it in the comments below.
