Summary
TheHollow Knight: SilksongSteam repository has received its first substantial update in years, revealing that the game will reach one previously unconfirmed platform: Nvidia’s GeForce Now. This encouraging update suggests that some concreteHollow Knight: Silksongnews could finally be on the horizon—and that the game itself could at last be close to releasing.
Originally announced in February 2019,Silksongwas initially envisioned asHollow KnightDLCbefore scope creep turned it into a full-fledged game. However, it’s been years since Australian developer Team Cherry stopped providing regular updates on its progress.
Although the company still isn’t sharing much, someHollow Knight: Silksong-related movement was finally observed on March 23, when the game’s Steam repository received its first significant update in years. As noted by Reddit user TheSpartan121 (viaTheGamer), the new version of the repo states that the upcoming game will be compatible with GeForce Now. The originalHollow Knighthas also long been supported by Nvidia’s streaming service. Its sequel seemed likely to follow suit as early as 2021, whenHollow Knight: Silksongwas mentioned in the massive GeForce Now leak.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Support Steam Family Sharing
The latest version of the game’s repo also includes some additional library assets. However, the update doesn’t introduce any newHollow Knight: Silksongscreenshots, but merely replaces a few header files. Another new detail involves the game’s list of store categories. In addition to GeForce Now support, the latest version of this source also indicates thatHollow Knight: Silksongwill support Steam Families, allowing members of the same family group to share a single game license.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Could Finally Be Coming in 2025
The March 2025 repo update even revised the game’s legal lines, updating the year in its copyright notice from 2019 to 2025. The change suggests that someHollow Knight: Silksongnews could finally be on the horizon and that perhaps even the game itself is close to materializing. This possibility has just recently been raised by Spanish leaker Extas1s, whoclaimed thatHollow Knight: Silksongis planned to release no later than June 2025.
Assuming that the game is indeed close to hitting the market, several upcoming events could serve as plausible platforms for its launch announcement. The first is the April 2 Nintendo Direct, expected to highlight a variety of Switch 2 games. The June 6 Summer Game Fest 2025 is another possibility of theHollow Knight: Silksongannouncement. Lastly, Microsoft’s track record suggests that another Xbox Games Showcase could take place in late spring or early summer, which would be another suitably high-profile venue for the game’s much-anticipated release date to be confirmed.
