Of course, fans have been meticulously examining the update for clues. While some remain cautious from past disappointments, this update feels more promising because several fans claim there is evidence that Hollow Knight: Silksong—or at least a version of it—has been fully uploaded to Steam's servers.
Just to make it clear... THE GAME FILES HAVE BEEN UPLOADED

"[Is this R]eal?" asked one hopeful fan. "Real," replied the original poster.
Team Cherry has always operated on its own schedule and is famously secretive, leaving the community to parse even the smallest and silliest of details. This time, however, it genuinely feels like something is brewing… here's hoping we don't have to wait much longer to find out what.
Team Cherry's sequel remains one of the world's most anticipated games, dominating Steam's wishlist charts for years. Silksong briefly appeared during Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct in April, after which Team Cherry confirmed a 2025 release window to the immense relief of its patient fans. Given that the game will be playable at Australia's ACMI museum starting September 18th, many are speculating a launch could occur even sooner… though, of course, nothing is official yet.
IGN recently shared an exclusive Silksong sprite sheet, and… well, the internet did what the internet does.
