Silksong Tease at Nintendo Showcase

Some Silksong updates, with an apparent 2025 release date:

Hollow Knight: Silksong will release in 2025, according to a showcase reel for Nintendo’s upcoming Steam Decklike, the Switch 2. Imagine dropping release details for a game as hotly, wildly, despairingly anticipated as Silksong in an effing montage video. Because that is what Uncle Mario did.

The game appears in the showcase for a handful of seconds, so there’s not much more to tell, but it’s nice to have something tangible after years of Team Cherry teaser campaigns and fan conspiracies about cake. There were a few more concrete indications that Silksong would grace the Switch 2’s software reveal. Earlier this month, the developers updated the Steam page, changing the copyright date to 2025.

Hopefully for real this time.

It must be tough for the developers of Silksong. I liked Hollow Knight, but it kind of got outsized critical reception. Metroidvania games are one of my favourite genres, but there really isn’t a lot of groundbreaking in the genre. I think Hollow Knight was just a solid game that did everything well. But it put huge expectations on the sequel. I imagine those expectations will be difficult to meet. Even moreso with all the delays.

ElQuintron The cake is a lie.

That be my said, hopeful this actually releases.
