Ignite your Hollow Knight Silksong hopes and dreams once again.

There have been a couple of whispers in the Silksong camps over the last couple of months, with the game being briefly shown in the Nintendo Switch 2 showcase and then confirmed to be playable at an Australian Exhibition in September at ACMII in Melbourne. The game has been experiencing a significant amount of activity on its Steam page.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has had its Steam page updated this morning with a new ‘CD Key’ with a ‘single purchase’ license.

Those on Reddit, where this information was spotted, have begun to go crazy. And it’s sure to spread with Summer Game Fest happening this weekend; the timing seems a little too suss not to want to read more into it.

Could Hollow Knight: Silksong be shadow-dropping during one of the upcoming events this weekend? Even just a solid release date would be big news for fans. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
