Silksong, the long-awaited to sequel to 2017’s Hollow Knight, will arrive later this year, according to a brief sizzle reel Nintendo shared during today’s Switch 2 Direct. In fact, the snippet was so short you might have missed it if you blinked, and featured the same section of gameplay we first saw during the game’s announcement trailer back in 2019.
Of course this being Silksong we’re talking about, I wouldn’t count on the game’s developer, Team Cherry, sticking to that date until we have the game in our hands. If you recall, back in 2022 there was speculation the game would arrive by June 12, 2023 after Microsoft included it in a Xbox Game Pass trailer and said all the titles featured in said clip would be available within 12 months. Well, June 12, 2023 came and went with no release of Silksong.
