Hollow Knight: Silksong gets some Steam changes, and you don’t need me to tell you its fans are reacting with calm and restraint

Calm down. Are you calm? This is for your own good. Ok, you may proceed. Another thing that could hint at something happening with Hollow Knight: Silksong has reared its head. This time it’s some Steam backend changes, and the Silksong faithful definitely aren’t losing their minds again.

To be fair, given even the likes of Xbox have been cheekily teasing these poor souls who’ve been disappointed more often than your parents when you tell them what you’re doing with your life, you can’t blame them for having their equivalent of a big party over some text that mentions Nvidia GeForce now.

Anyway, let’s get into what’s kicked their Hornet’s nest this time. It’s some updates the game’s backend got today, March 24, which have been spotted via SteamDB.

What do they reveal? Well, that the game’s legal lines have been changed to say copyright Team Cherry 2025, rather than the same thing, but with the year 2019. Some assets have also been tweaked, with some seeming to point towards the game being available via Nvidia’s GeForce Now streaming service whenever it drops.

Naturally, the Silksong hive is taking this as the latest sign that actual info about the game might be coming soon, and with Nintendo’s early April Switch 2 direct on the immediate horizon, that understandably looks to be where a lot of the hopes are being pinned. Here’s hoping the hype doesn’t fall flat on its face yet again, leaving the poor Silksongers to keep on wandering the lonely roads of the internet, Silksongless.

They’ve been waiting since at least 2019, to be fair, and endured stuff like cake theories in that time, so you can get why they’ll cling to stuff like these Steam updates. Their knees are weak, their arms are heavy, as they wonder what’s going on with this game already, did Team Cherry forgetti?
