Hollow Knightfans believe that an image shared on social media by Team Cherry’s co-creator hints at the reveal ofSilksongon Switch 2.
Could Hollow Knight: Silksong Arrive on Switch 2?
Legend has it thatHollow Knight: Silksongis in development for PC, Steam Deck, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch… and presumably, Nintendo Switch 2. Officially announced in 2019, the game has remained largely out of the spotlight since 2022.
Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 has been officially unveiled—leaving nine unanswered questions about the new hardware—many speculate that the next announcement for Silksong (perhaps including a release date) will align with the launch of Nintendo’s new console.
After all, the reveal of Silksong originally took place during a Nintendo showcase, so it makes sense to think the Hollow Knight sequel might headline the next Switch 2 games event, scheduled for July 26, 2025. Beyond speculation, there’s no concrete evidence to support this, but fans of the metroidvania genre have been theorizing based on recent activity from Hollow Knight co-creator “Little Bomey” on Twitter/X.

For those unaware, “Little Bomey” is one of the creators of Hollow Knight, so any post from them tends to fuel fan rumors and theories.
The Theory Linking Silksong to the First Switch 2 Event
On Reddit’s GamingLeaksAndRumours thread, fans have suggested that Silksong could make an appearance in the first confirmed Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, taking place in April 2025.

A new clue about the progress ofHollow Knight: Silksongsurfaced some time ago through a Reddit post, where a screenshot caught the attention of fans eagerly awaiting the game. While it didn’t offer specific details about the game’s development, a message from the official Discord—attributed to a lead beta tester known as Craig—stated that development is “not going badly.”
Although Craig isn’t officially part of Team Cherry, his words have provided some reassurance to fans, who have been longing for updates after months of silence.
His comment seems to confirm that the team is actively working on the game, despite the lack of recent official announcements.
For now, the community remains eagerly awaiting another glimpse of the game—and, most importantly, an official release date.Hollow Knight: Silksongis shaping up to meet high expectations, but only time will tell when fans can finally embark on this much-anticipated new adventure.
