Hollow Knight: Silksong Vanishes from Nintendo eShop – But Is It a Sign of Bigger News?
Alright, folks, here we go again—Silksong, the long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight , just disappeared from Nintendo's North American eShop, and naturally, the internet is losing its mind. But before you start throwing your controllers in frustration, let’s break this down.
First things first: Yes, the game is still in development . Team Cherry has repeatedly assured fans that Silksong is real, progressing, and will indeed be released. Just last month, Matthew Griffin, the marketing and publishing lead at Team Cherry, responded to a concerned fan with a simple but reassuring message: “Yes, the game is real, progressing, and will release.”
So, if the game isn’t canceled, why was it suddenly pulled from the eShop? The most popular theory floating around is that Silksong is being repositioned as a launch title for the rumored Switch 2 . And honestly? That makes a lot of sense. If Nintendo is gearing up for a new console launch, they might be shuffling game listings in preparation.

To add fuel to this theory, Nintendo is set to host a Direct presentation on April 2 , which is expected to focus heavily on the Switch 2 . Could we finally get a release date for Silksong then? Maybe even a shadow drop? If so, that would be one epic way to make an announcement.
That said, this isn’t the first time the eShop page for Silksong has vanished. It happened back in 2022, and after a few months, it reappeared without much explanation. In fact, if you search for Silksong manually in the eShop right now, it still doesn’t pop up—but you can find it by searching on Google or through Team Cherry’s official website. Strange, right?
And let’s be honest—this kind of radio silence from Team Cherry isn’t new. Silksong was first announced in 2019 , and updates have been few and far between. The fanbase has been left clinging to crumbs of information, turning even the smallest updates into massive speculation storms. Remember when the developers posted a picture of a chocolate cake, and the internet went wild trying to figure out if it was a secret release hint? Yeah, that happened.
So, what’s the takeaway? Silksong is still coming. The game isn’t dead. But with this latest eShop disappearance and the upcoming Nintendo Direct, we might finally be on the verge of getting some real news. Keep your expectations in check, but hey—maybe, just maybe, the wait is almost over.
What do you think? Will Silksong be a Switch 2 launch title, or is this just another false alarm? Let’s hear your thoughts!
