While some gaming communities are buzzing with excitement following today’s Nintendo Direct, others are feeling the sting of unmet expectations. Specifically, the Hollow Knight: Silksong community finds itself in familiar territory after a highly anticipated trailer failed to materialize during the showcase.
Fortunately, there’s another Direct scheduled for next week.
Of course, now we wait for April 2nd

Dive into their subreddit or Discord channel on any given day, and you’ll encounter a barrage of memes and "silkposts" speculating, imagining, and joking about a game that feels perpetually out of reach. Last year, similar events left the community reeling, and again in January, when a photo of chocolate cake sparked a frantic ARG hunt that went nowhere. From the outside, it’s tough to discern how much genuine disappointment exists versus the playful banter typical of a passionate fanbase.
Nintendo Direct? That’s not until April 2nd

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }This upcoming Direct holds particular significance, however. Hollow Knight initially launched on PC but skyrocketed in popularity when it hit the Nintendo Switch. As a result, many fans associate the series closely with Nintendo platforms. This showcase is especially noteworthy because it’s rumored to highlight the Nintendo Switch 2, both hardware and potential launch titles. It seems like the perfect stage for Silksong to make its debut. While the event will feature several first-party games, Hollow Knight enthusiasts are holding onto hope that Silksong’s growing popularity will secure it a spot—and that the game is finally nearing completion.

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }Will Silksong fans face another letdown, perhaps for the 50th time since the project was announced? It’s possible! However, there are hints suggesting the game might be inching closer to a release date. A recent Xbox Wire post mentioned Silksong in a list of indie titles, though it could have been a playful nod. Additionally, Steam’s Silksong page recently underwent backend updates, including a copyright year change. Yet, history reminds us that similar buzz has fizzled out countless times. Who knows for sure?

Get ready to don your clown makeup next week, folks!
