Buckle up Hollow Knight fans because it looks like the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong will actually release this year. You might recall the game made a brief appearance at the recent Nintendo Switch 2 event, complete with a 2025 release date. Well, now we have even more evidence of its impending arrivall.
One of Poland’s biggest retail chains has listed a Hollow Knight: Silksong physical edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 with a 2025 release date.
In case the listing is removed, here’s an archived version.
As a major retailer, it’s unlikely the company has listed this based on nothing but rumour. Presumably they must have heard about it in some official capacity before putting up a page.
However, in the interest of fairness, I suppose it is possible they listed it purely based on its appearance at the recent Switch 2 event.
Then there’s the PEGI rating shown in the product details. According to them the game has already been rated by PEGI and given a 7+ rating, but the PEGI website currently has no listing for Silksong. This could simply be a placeholder, although I would have thought they simply wouldn’t list a rating without official confirmation.
