Silksong Release Rumors Gain Traction

Silksong receives its first Steam package update in over a year, fueling speculation about a surprise release. Discover what this development might mean and how fans are reacting to potential shadow drop rumors.

Hollow Knight Silksong Release Imminent

Steam Package Updated After 15 Months

The gaming community has reignited discussions about Hollow Knight: Silksong's release following backend activity on Steam. Twitter user Wario64 spotted significant updates to Silksong's SteamDB packages on June 3 - the first change in 15 months.

Package modifications often signal active development progress. This recent update follows Silksong's appearance in Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct presentation earlier this year, adding credibility to release speculation.

While unconfirmed, these developments emerge conveniently before Summer Game Fest 2025 and major platform showcases, presenting multiple opportunities for Team Cherry to reveal new information about the highly anticipated sequel.

Possible Shadow Drop?

The Silksong community responded characteristically to the update, with wild speculation about potential release scenarios. Many note the timing coincides with Switch 2's imminent launch, suggesting potential cross-platform shadow drop possibilities.

Twitter user @Papa_Kutz amplified discussion by suggesting this could indicate Silksong releasing alongside Switch 2, while @switcheroo99 optimistically predicted availability this week.

These theories gain plausibility considering Team Cherry's scheduled Silksong demo at an Australian museum exhibition in September, potentially signaling final development stages.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch across PlayStation 4/5, Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switch/Switch 2, and PC platforms. Follow our coverage for the latest official updates.
