Silksong briefly disappears from the Nintendo store and the internet is filled with speculation

Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight, has been removed from the Nintendo eShop in North America, generating various speculations among the gaming community. Despite its absence from the Nintendo store, the game remains available on other platforms such as PlayStation Store, Xbox, and Steam, as well as in the European eShop, which has led many to question the reasons behind this decision.

The most shared theory: it has to do with Nintendo Switch 2

One of the theories most considered by fans is that the removal of the game from the North American eShop could be related to an upcoming release for the anticipated Switch 2 console, rather than indicating a possible cancellation of the project. Team Cherry, the development studio, has assured that the development of Silksong is progressing well and that the game will be released in the future, despite the lack of constant updates since its initial announcement.

The interest in Silksong has been remarkable, as the title won the Most Anticipated Game award in 2022 and 2023, highlighting the anticipation and enthusiasm of the community. However, to date, concrete details about the game have been scarce, fueling the curiosity of its followers.

In this context, many are focusing their attention on the upcoming Nintendo Direct presentation scheduled for April 2. Rumors suggest that Silksong may make an appearance during this event, which could mean a revelation about its current status and a connection with the new console. This has further heightened expectations among the gaming community.
