Summary
- The Hollow Knight: Silksong Steam repository has been updated in late March 2025.
- The new version of the repo confirms support for Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service and Steam Family Sharing.
- The repo also updates the year in the game's copyright notice from 2019 to 2025, suggesting that Hollow Knight: Silksong could finally hit the market this year.
The Hollow Knight: Silksong Steam repository has received its first substantial update in years, revealing that the game will reach one previously unconfirmed platform: Nvidia's GeForce Now. This encouraging update suggests that some concrete Hollow Knight: Silksong news could finally be on the horizon—and that the game itself could at last be close to releasing.
Originally announced in February 2019, Silksong was initially envisioned as Hollow Knight DLC before scope creep turned it into a full-fledged game. However, it's been years since Australian developer Team Cherry stopped providing regular updates on its progress.
Team Cherry Gives Update on Hollow Knight: Silksong
As dedicated fans continue to beg for news regarding Hollow Knight: Silksong, developer Team Cherry offers an update regarding the Metroidvania title.
Although the company still isn't sharing much, some Hollow Knight: Silksong-related movement was finally observed on March 23, when the game's Steam repository received its first significant update in years. As noted by Reddit user TheSpartan121 (via TheGamer), the new version of the repo states that the upcoming game will be compatible with GeForce Now. The original Hollow Knight has also long been supported by Nvidia's streaming service. Its sequel seemed likely to follow suit as early as 2021, when Hollow Knight: Silksong was mentioned in the massive GeForce Now leak.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Support Steam Family Sharing
The latest version of the game's repo also includes some additional library assets. However, the update doesn't introduce any new Hollow Knight: Silksong screenshots, but merely replaces a few header files. Another new detail involves the game's list of store categories. In addition to GeForce Now support, the latest version of this source also indicates that Hollow Knight: Silksong will support Steam Families, allowing members of the same family group to share a single game license.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Could Finally Be Coming in 2025
The March 2025 repo update even revised the game's legal lines, updating the year in its copyright notice from 2019 to 2025. The change suggests that some Hollow Knight: Silksong news could finally be on the horizon and that perhaps even the game itself is close to materializing. This possibility has just recently been raised by Spanish leaker Extas1s, who claimed that Hollow Knight: Silksong is planned to release no later than June 2025.
Assuming that the game is indeed close to hitting the market, several upcoming events could serve as plausible platforms for its launch announcement. The first is the April 2 Nintendo Direct, expected to highlight a variety of Switch 2 games. The June 6 Summer Game Fest 2025 is another possibility of the Hollow Knight: Silksong announcement. Lastly, Microsoft's track record suggests that another Xbox Games Showcase could take place in late spring or early summer, which would be another suitably high-profile venue for the game's much-anticipated release date to be confirmed.
