After 6 years of hype, can Hollow Knight: Silksong really live up to the sky-high expectations?


With a whole three seconds of footage, this month’s Nintendo Direct put a new release window on Hollow Knight: Silksong: 2025. The game has blown past announced release windows before, of course, but this does feel a bit more concrete—brief though the appearance was, this was still Nintendo announcing the lineup for its brand new console. There’s some weight to that.

But as the Silksong community once again goes wild with rapture, I’m left troubled by a question that’s been floating around this game for a while now: after this long of a wait, what are we actually expecting Silksong to be?

As originally conceived, Silksong was just an expansion for Hollow Knight. If it had released as a relatively substantial DLC in 2019, I’m sure it would have been well received. Instead, that year it was announced as a full sequel, far expanded in scope from the original idea. And if that sequel had come out in 2020 and turned out to just be a new slice of good Hollow Knight content, we’d have probably all been happy with that too.
