Hollow Knight Silksong MIA at Nintendo Direct; Fans Express Frustration
Tell me, did you not have a single percent of hope in your hearts to learn the release date for Hollow Knight Silksong today? Well, you are not alone. Ever since the sequel was revealed almost five years ago, we all have been waiting for the day when we finally see the princess-protector of Hallownest’s ruins share another announcement. It seems that is not happening yet as another Nintendo Direct leaves every Hollow Knight Silksong fan glum after it stays MIA.
While some already expected the heartbreak, it is still absurd how we have no information on a game that was revealed in 2019. We did get a few hints here and there. Xbox also announced that Game Pass will also have the Hornet venturing through a new journey soon. But yet, we have not found when the journey will begin.
As we kept looking at endless Nintendo Directs and other events such as Gamescom, we are now in 2024. And with the latest Nintendo Direct event, fans are starting to express more frustration as the Hollow Knight Silksong release date is still shrouded in mystery.
Frustration Keeps Rising After Silksong Stays in the Shadows
Well, the frustration is not new as fans are losing patience. It has been 5 years since we first saw a glimpse of the new Hollow Knight game. Before the August Nintendo Direct, the fans were praying that this would be the time we finally see the reveal date. Some even shared a slot machine meme where we never get the match and ultimately never get a Silksong announcement.

However, after sitting through an Indie World showcase and a partner showcase at Nintendo Direct, totaling around 40 minutes, I closed the event stream tab with a lot of disappointment and a *sigh*. Some popular X accounts, including Opera GX, shared their disappointment saying, “something something no silksong at nintendo direct,…”
That is not wrong. It seems every game reveal event is now using Hollow Knight Silksong as bait to gather engagement from viewers. The companies understand the love for Hollow Knight and even if there is no new development, they will somehow get viewers to watch just in anticipation.
We see many new game reveals and even if they are good, the hype and wait for Silksong’s (alleged) announcement fades them away. Fans are officially using the clown face on the protagonist Hornet as a meme.
One of the X users even shared a post saying the Silksong release date was leaked on the Nintendo e-shop. While there are no official confirmations, it will make some fans excited as they cope with the fact the release date is still MIA.
In our Hollow Knight: Silksong release date prediction, we predicted it to be Q1 2025. So, if things go well, there should be an announcement soon. But for now, let us all cope together. Were you also excited about a new announcement for Silksong? Tell us in the comments below.
