Silksong Referenced During Deadpool VR Unveiling

Silksong Trailer Absent from Summer Game Fest 2025

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to Team Cherry's acclaimed indie platformer Hollow Knight, was a hot topic of discussion throughout Summer Game Fest 2025. After rumors of a shadow drop and a Steam package update earlier in June, fans eagerly awaited new reveals. However, the only reference to Silksong arose unexpectedly during the global premiere of Marvel's Deadpool VR.

SGF 2025 host Geoff Keighley recited a message from Marvel hero Deadpool, which concluded with a humorous request: "Do me a favor and skip that Silksong trailer so you can check out my groundbreaking VR game that's set to revolutionize the industry, probably."

The Silksong fanbase responded to the Merc with a Mouth with a blend of amusement and annoyance in the following days. Some shared lighthearted memes about the situation, while others expressed genuine frustration, blaming "The Dead Pool Incident" for the absence of a Silksong trailer.

Marvel's Deadpool VR is confirmed for an exclusive late 2025 release on Meta Quest 3/3S. For a full rundown of announcements and titles featured at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our linked article below!
