Exciting news for Hollow Knight: Silksong enthusiasts! Fresh screenshots have emerged, offering a glimpse into some updated locations, including the intriguing city of Bellhart. Although fans can expect the game to drop sometime this year, the exact release date remains under wraps.
Ever since 2017, Hollow Knight captivated players with its richly detailed world, leading developer Team Cherry to unveil plans for a sequel in 2019. Unlike its predecessor, Silksong focuses on Hornet, a fan-favorite character from the original game. The announcement promised fans a visually stunning adventure filled with intricate settings and formidable bosses. Unsurprisingly, anticipation has been building for over half a decade. At long last, a short clip during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2 confirmed that the title is on track for a 2025 release.
Recently, additional insights surfaced, as sharp-eyed Hollow Knight aficionado and indie developer mossbag69 spotted new images on Nintendo Japan’s website. Three fresh screenshots provided new looks at previously revealed spaces like Bellhart, a fierce duel with Lace, and the starting room. Mossbag69’s comparisons on social media illustrated the transformation of these features since their initial introduction in 2019, with Bellhart displaying the most pronounced changes, including a blurrier background and modifications to its nearby insect inhabitants.
These freshly unveiled images might not spotlight undiscovered territories, yet they have reignited the community’s excitement. The buzz on social media is undeniable, as evidenced by a tweet from mossbag69 that garnered over 37K likes. Fans of Team Cherry will be thrilled by other good news as well: Hollow Knight: Silksong will not skip the original Switch. Matthew Griffen, who handles marketing and publishing, reassured fans through social media that the game will also launch on the 2017 console, even as it prepares to debut on the new Switch 2.
Though recent updates might seem small, they’ve reassured hopeful followers fearing Silksong might never see the light of day. Sadly, there’s still no confirmation on a specific release date, leaving everyone eagerly waiting for more concrete details from Team Cherry.
