Hollow Knight: Silksong Steam Metadata Updated, Suggesting 2025 Release

Author : Eric Update:Apr 15,2025

The buzz around Hollow Knight: Silksong has reached a fever pitch following a recent update to its Steam listing and a casual mention by Microsoft in an Xbox post. On March 24, changes to the game's metadata on SteamDB were spotted, including an opt-in for GeForce Now, updated assets, and a notable change in the copyright year from 2019 to 2025. This has led fans to speculate about an imminent re-reveal and potential release in 2025.

With Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2, the excitement among fans is palpable, as they eagerly await any news about Hollow Knight: Silksong. It's been six years since the game was announced, and while there have been sporadic updates, the silence from Team Cherry has only fueled speculation. January saw increased activity on social media, with cryptic posts from a developer sparking rumors of a re-reveal during the Switch 2 Direct, and even suggestions that it might launch as a timed exclusive on Nintendo's next-gen console.

When Hollow Knight: Silksong was initially announced, Team Cherry confirmed its launch platforms as Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, it's one of the most anticipated titles for Game Pass, following Microsoft's deal to include it on day one of its release.

In June 2022, Microsoft showcased Hollow Knight: Silksong at its Xbox-Bethesda event, promising that all featured games would be playable within the next 12 months. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry announced a delay past the first half of 2023, citing the game's expanded scope and their commitment to quality. Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry's marketing and publishing lead, emphasized their excitement and dedication to making the game as good as possible.

As the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2017 game Hollow Knight, Silksong carries immense expectations. It remains one of the most wishlisted games on Steam, and IGN's review of the original praised its rich world, compelling story, and the vast choice in exploration and challenges.
