Hollow Knight: Silksong Steam Update Sparks Release Date Speculation

Another day, another Hollow Knight: Silksong update on SteamDB sends fans into a frenzy. Could this finally be the moment we’ve all been waiting for?

Overnight, Hollow Knight: Silksong received a quiet update on Steam, with SteamDB noting that one of its packages had seen its first refresh in over a year (via Eurogamer). As expected, the update sparked immediate speculation across forums and social media, with hopeful players wondering if this could signal something bigger. Is Summer Game Fest around the corner? Could it appear at the Xbox Showcase? Or are we inching closer to a potential Nintendo Switch 2 surprise drop?

Naturally, fans wasted no time diving into the details. While some have grown cautious after previous false alarms, this update has generated real excitement—especially since multiple users claim there's now proof that Hollow Knight: Silksong, or at least a version of it, has "been uploaded to the Steam servers."

Just to make it clear... THE GAME FILES HAVE BEEN UPLOADED

“Is this real?” one hopeful fan asked.
“Real,” replied the original poster.

Team Cherry has always worked to its own rhythm, often staying silent while fans dissect every pixel of information. Yet this time, the energy feels different—like something is genuinely stirring beneath the surface. Let’s just hope an official reveal isn’t far behind.

As one of the most anticipated games worldwide, Silksong continues to dominate Steam’s wishlist charts. It made a brief but exciting appearance during April’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and Team Cherry later confirmed a 2025 release window, bringing relief to its loyal fanbase.

Moreover, Silksong will be playable at ACMI—the Australian Centre for the Moving Image—from September 18, fueling further speculation about a possible early launch. Nothing is set in stone yet, of course, but anticipation is building fast.

Recently, IGN exclusively shared a Silksong sprite sheet—and as you’d expect, the internet lost its mind over it.
