Hollow Knight Silksong Release Imminent
Steam Package Updated After 15 Months
Hollow Knight: Silksong's backend activity on Steam has reignited speculation about a potential surprise release. On June 3, Twitter user Wario64 noticed significant updates to Silksong's "packages" on SteamDB after 15 months of inactivity.
These package updates strongly suggest active development progress. Fans were particularly encouraged since the last SteamDB update coincided with Silksong's brief appearance in April's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct. With Summer Game Fest approaching alongside other major gaming showcases, many anticipate Team Cherry might finally share concrete release details.
Possible Shadow Drop?
The SteamDB updates have sent the Silksong community into a frenzy, with many speculating about a potential shadow drop coinciding with the Switch 2 launch. Twitter discussion highlights the community's cautious optimism, with some hoping for an imminent release while others maintain their trademark skepticism.
Adding fuel to these rumors, a playable Silksong demo will be featured at an Australian museum exhibition in September, potentially signaling a release window. While nothing is confirmed, the recent activity provides the most tangible evidence of progress since the game's initial announcement.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is expected to launch on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch/Switch 2, and PC platforms. For the latest official updates, be sure to check Team Cherry's announcements.
