  • Hollow Knight Silksong disappeared from the North American Nintendo Switch eShop, causing confusion among fans.
  • Despite six years passing since its reveal, developers confirmed the game is still in development and will be released eventually.

The game titled “Hollow Knight Silksong” has unexpectedly vanished from the North American Nintendo Switch eShop. However, there’s no need for excessive worry as the developers of “Hollow Knight Silksong” have assured us that the game is still in progress. This sudden removal has left some fans puzzled and they’ve expressed their concerns online.

Initially launched in 2017, “Hollow Knight” gained widespread acclaim as one of the finest Metroidvania games ever produced. The game sold more than three million units, inspiring its developers to focus on creating DLC. One expansion grew in size and eventually evolved into “Hollow Knight Silksong,” which was first announced in February 2019. Since then, there’s been no release date for the game, leaving a portion of its enthusiastic fanbase eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play the sequel to this beloved indie title.

It appears that the Hollow Knight Silksong listing on the North American eShop has mysteriously disappeared. However, don’t let this alarm you as the game is still accessible through other platforms such as the UK Switch eShop, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, and GOG. It’s possible that Team Cherry is making updates or there might have been a technical glitch causing the page to go offline. While this situation may seem worrying, some gamers have expressed concerns online, suggesting that the development of Silksong seems to be moving in reverse. Others are concerned that it might only be available on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2, but there’s no evidence to support this assumption.

Thankfully, Team Cherry has confirmed that “Hollow Knight Silksong” is indeed under development and is moving forward. They’ve assured us that it will be released at some point. Unfortunately, we don’t have a specific release date yet. Many of us eager fans are hoping to get our hands on the game before 2025 wraps up or perhaps in early 2026.
