Hollow Knight: Silksong enthusiasts have faced quite a tumultuous wait over the past few years, eagerly anticipating updates on this highly awaited sequel. With the official announcement finally made, you might expect widespread excitement; however, Daily Silksong News, which has faithfully uploaded a video every day for more than 1,500 days, seems to be grappling with this transformation.
During the latest Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, fresh gameplay footage of Silksong was revealed, along with a release window projected for 2025, marking a definitive moment as fans receive more reliable information than they’ve had in quite some time.

Despite the excitement that comes with the release of the game, which is expected this year, this shift marks a significant change for the creators behind Daily Silksong News, who have dedicated years to uploading content daily.
Interestingly, instead of their usual brief, uprising banter, they can now produce videos focusing on the latest developments regarding the game and its community. The influx of actual news should streamline the content creation process.
Humorously, just a day prior to the actual confirmation of Silksong’s upcoming release in 2025, the channel had shared an April Fools’ Day prank asserting they had received a cease and desist order and would cease all postings. Little did they realize that they would be able to create and share much more news the following day.
Following the announcement, their activity on Twitter has noticeably increased. Perhaps the sudden availability of news after an extended period of silence has left them with an overwhelming amount of material to consider. With remarks like “just like back then just like back then” and “ypouy,” I hope they will obtain their copy of the game very soon.
As we await further updates, don’t miss out on the list of upcoming Switch 2 titles.
