It is in this way that Hollow Knight: Silksong remains the very one that was abandoned. In one case, Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds was the most wished-for game, and therefore it surpassed Hollow Knight: Silksong, which moved into the third place there, while Monster Hunter Wilds thus went on to become the most wished-for game, which was being followed by Deadlock, and now it is time for Monster Hunter Wilds, as the game's fan community gets into gear for the launch in a month's time.
While the input of Hollow Knight: Silksong, which stated that "it will be announced after a certain gap as was mentioned in the Feb 2019 announcement—almost two years after the first game, Hollow Knight, was released to critical acclaim," was given to us, still, 2019 proved to be a year that saw no significant improvement in relation to the above game. It might now be six years since its very initial announcement, and the information from Team Cherry has been only a bit since then. Matthew Griffin, marketing and publishing head of Team Cherry, announced Hollow Knight: Silksong on January 18, and he also noted that it was still being created and it will one day come out. The game under consideration is described in a way that leaves no doubt to the fans being told that there will be more updates by the developers in 25, a year that will be full of such things.
On The Gamer site, it is mentioned that Monster Hunter Wilds replaced Hollow Knight: Silksong as the number one most desired game on Steam, even though it is still months before it is put on the market. For a new game, being in the top 10 most sold games on Steam's global list could be indicative that it might be the next hit. Nothing about the price of the game and its release date has been announced until now, but it still resides on the chart as the third most wished-for game on Steam for 2025. The fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong have been the ones who, for lack of news from Team Cherry, have produced their own creative thoughts and theories.
Additionally, Hollow Knight: Silksong has attracted more wishlist entries than any of the other four games. Elden Ring is in fifth place, while Deadlock occupies the second position, and Sid Meier's Civilization VII has secured a berth in fourth place. The probable launch date of Sid Meier's Civilization VII is set for February 11. Hollow Knight: Silksong prevails as one of the most talked about among the games coming in 2025. It would be really thrilling to see Hollow Knight: Silksong launched for the Nintendo Switch 2 precisely during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct, considering that it has been appearing in several Nintendo Directs and Indie World showcases since its announcement in 2019.
