If there is a Nintendo Direct planned for some time in July, it would not be unrealistic to expect someHollow Knight: Silksongnews.
Fans of the game have been starved ofHollow Knight: Silksongnews for quite some time, and as the end of 2025 slowly draws closer, expectations for announcements begin to rise. Prior to the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, fans had waited almosttwo years for a trueHollow Knight: Silksongdevelopment update, and if the game is expected to release before the year draws to a close, it should take every opportunity it can get to give any relevant news to its fans.
Silksong’s Release Date Could Be Drawing Near
The rumored July 2025 Nintendo Direct could be the perfect opportunity for theHollow Knight: Silksongrelease date to be announced. The confirmation that the game will be released in 2025 does offer some reassurance, but without any updates or a specific release date, fans ofHollow Knight: Silksongcould reasonably grow concerned about this release window. The game has been delayed well beyond its original release window of 2023, so it’s no wonder why some may fear that 2025 could be unlikely. An announcement within the current month has the potential to calm the worries of fans and maintain the hype.
There is so much information that players still don’t know aboutHollow Knight: Silksong. It is well-established as a sequel to the originalHollow Knight, meaning players can expect a similar gameplay experience, but players still haven’t been shown many of the game’s new mechanics or bosses. Despite this, the most crucial piece of missing information isHollow Knight: Silksong’s release date. New gameplay footage helps to generate more hype and make the game feel more real to players, but until they know when they can get their hands on it themselves, gameplay information only goes so far.

A Hollow Knight: Silksong announcement during a Nintendo Direct isn’t out of the question.
Fans already know thatHollow Knight: Silksongwill be playable in Septemberat ACMI Game Worlds as a demo. This is unlikely to include the full game, and will instead give players a taste of the experience.

Players still have plenty of time to conjure up some new theories and in-jokes related to the game, but if there is an announcement at the potential July 2025 Nintendo Direct, it won’t be long before fans transition into the post-release phase of the game.
