Silksong shows eShop interest
Hollow Knight: Silksong — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition placed No.16 on the Switch 2 eShop charts for April 12, indicating commercial visibility despite a lack of fresh release-date news. (nintendoeverything.com) Public trackers and sites note Team Cherry has remained tight‑lipped with no fixed release window even as interest persists. (e-tip.paacc.com)
Hollow Knight: Silksong — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition landed at No. 16 on Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts dated April 12, 2026. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Everything’s April 12 chart roundup listed Silksong in the all-games ranking behind launch and first-party sellers including Mario Kart World and Pokemon Legends: Z-A — Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. GoNintendo published the same weekly chart snapshot on April 12. (nintendoeverything.com) (gonintendo.com) Nintendo’s official store pages still show Hollow Knight: Silksong and its Nintendo Switch 2 Edition as live products, with the United States store describing the Switch 2 version as an enhanced edition and the United Kingdom store listing higher resolution, improved frame rates and added effects. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) That chart placement keeps Silksong visible on Nintendo’s storefront even after Team Cherry went months without giving a new day-and-date launch update in public posts or store copy. Nintendo’s current United States product page does not display a release date in the snippet now shown by search, while the United Kingdom page still carries a September 4, 2025 date. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The long wait is part of the story. Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct in April 2025 gave Silksong a 2025 release window, and outlets including IGN treated that brief appearance as the first firm window after years of delays. (ign.com) Nintendo later published a “now available” post for the game on its official site, saying Silksong had launched for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 at $19.99. Nintendo’s My Nintendo Store also lists a separate Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) The chart signal is less about a new announcement than about sustained demand. An eShop ranking reflects recent store activity, so a top-20 spot means players are still clicking, buying or wishlisting the game strongly enough to keep it near newer releases. (nintendoeverything.com) (nintendo.com) For Team Cherry, that is a familiar pattern: sparse communication, then a spike in attention whenever Nintendo surfaces the game in a store page, Direct montage or platform chart. This week’s No. 16 slot shows the audience has not drifted far. (ign.com) (nintendoeverything.com)
