We final heard from Hole Knight: Silksong within the April Change 2 Direct, the place Workforce Cherry’s hotly anticipated metroidvania made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it look, accompanied by a ‘2025’ launch window. Within the weeks since, the sport returned to its dormant state, however a brand new replace to its Steam web page has as soon as once more stoked the fires of hypothesis. With showcase season proper across the nook, is it lastly time?
The SteamDB replace was delivered to our consideration on BlueSky by @Wario64, who claimed that one of many recreation’s packages was receiving its first replace in 15 months.

After all, this is not the primary time that the Steam web page has seen a tiny adjustment behind closed doorways — heck, if this was some other title, it might in all probability go by unnoticed — however that is Silksong that we’re speaking about right here, so in fact the hype beacons have been lit.
A quick look at each BlueSky and X reveals nearly each prediction you possibly can think about, with followers claiming the sport will drop alongside Change 2 on fifth June, that it’s going to characteristic in Summer season Sport Fest, that Microsoft might need one thing deliberate for this weekend’s Xbox Video games Showcase 2025. All of them are based mostly on nothing greater than pleasure, in fact, however all of these occasions are occurring this week, so the theories maintain slightly extra water than the standard “SHaDoW DROP TomORRoW CONFIRMED!!!11!” posts that we have all been topic to for the previous six years.

After all, simply because a few showcases are across the nook, that does not imply any Silksong information is assured. Let’s not neglect that we’ve got had a whopping six years of showcases by this level, nearly all of which have not featured a lot as a peep out of Workforce Cherry.
However who’re we kidding? Even we’re liable to getting pulled into the thrill at instances, and it isn’t as if yet another recreation will make all that a lot influence on our backlogs as soon as Change 2 and its beefy launch line-up arrive on fifth June. *Sigh* Let’s get the clown make-up out once more…
Do you suppose we would lastly hear some Silksong information this weekend? Tell us within the feedback.
