It's actually happening, everybody stay calm: Silksong properly confirmed for a 2025 release date at the Nintendo Direct with a whole 3 seconds of footage

An image of Hornet from Silksong engulfed with rage.

Dear reader, this is not a drill: Silksong's release year has officially been confirmed. While it's not the big, blow-out trailer fans were necessarily hoping for—almost a blink-and-you'll-miss it moment stuffed into the end of Nintendo's April 2 direct, Hollow Knight: Silksong is provably, actually coming out this year. Probably.

An entire few seconds of footage accompanied the announcement, which is enough to feed communities like the Silksong Reddit for another six years—though we hopefully won't be waiting that long. Said footage shows protagonist Hornet: 1) Jumping on some grass platforms, 2) Sliding down some dandelion slopes, and 3) Hitting some bosses with her needle. Absolute cinema.
