Recent backend changes for Hollow Knight: Silksong have reignited speculation about potential release date announcements. Tracking platforms like SteamDB show updated entries, including a package last modified 15 months prior, prompting discussions among fans.

Speculation surged across social media, with users humorously theorizing unexpected platform launches. One tweet humorously referenced a rumored Nintendo hardware update alongside a popular TV meme. Earlier confirmations indicate the title will launch on multiple platforms, though specific timing remains unconfirmed.

Many speculate announcements could align with upcoming gaming showcases. While optimism persists, others remain cautiously skeptical despite actively “manifesting” news. Since its 2018 reveal, anticipation has steadily grown, punctuated by a January 2024 assurance from developers that the project remains active and nearing completion.

Recent promotional content for Summer Game Fest highlighted titles like Death Stranding 2 and Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, though no references to Silksong appeared in the previews.
