This is Not a Drill: Hollow Knight Silksong Makes an Appearance at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct

Hollow Knight: Silksong made a surprising appearance at today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct! Yes, you heard that right, we’re not pulling your leg here.

During today’s event, we were treated to a glimpse of the much-anticipated game that everyone’s been buzzing about. The big news? It’s set to land on the Switch 2 sometime in 2025. Beyond that, though, details were scarce, as it was part of a grand montage showcasing all the upcoming games for the platform.

What was on the screen? Just the simple caption “Hollow Knight: Silksong, 2025” while Hornet did her thing, darting through the platformer landscape with familiar agility. Naturally, the chat exploded with excitement, filled with enthusiastic “SKONG” comments. Though the moment was brief, it sure was something to behold.

Remember all those heated discussions when Silksong didn’t make an appearance at last week’s initial Switch Direct? Well, seems like your fervent speculation was spot on! Those Steam updates, hinting at a GeForce Now release, had you all worked up for a reason.

Now, feel free to “skong” to your heart’s content—whatever that means—without fear of ridicule, at least for today. You’re among those who fiercely love a game that’s whimsically described with something that rhymes with “drop a shite, big pong.” Keep that passion burning, though perhaps not literally, unless you’re safely near a restroom.

So, for the first time since around 2019, you can truly savor the moment! Step outside, enjoy a breath of fresh air, hug a Hornet’s nest just for the nostalgia (though maybe don’t literally try that one at home), and drop us a heartfelt note from the “hollow-spital.”
