Silksong Mentioned During Deadpool VR World Premiere

No New Trailer for Silksong at SGF 2025

Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to Team Cherry’s acclaimed indie title, were eagerly awaiting new updates at this year’s Summer Game Fest. Speculation had grown following recent rumors of a potential shadow drop and a Steam package update in June. However, the only mention of Silksong came as a surprise during the debut of Marvel’s Deadpool VR.

Geoff Keighley, host of SGF 2025, shared a message from the Marvel antihero Deadpool on stage. In true Deadpool fashion, the note ended with a humorous twist: “You’re going to do me a solid and skip that Silksong trailer, so you can pimp my revolutionary VR game adventure that will shock the industry, probably.”

The Silksong community responded with a mix of amusement and disappointment in the days following the event. Some fans took to social media with memes and jokes about the crossover, dubbing it “The Dead Pool Incident,” while others expressed frustration over the missed opportunity for a proper Silksong update.

In other news, Marvel’s Deadpool VR is set to launch exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S in late 2025. For a full recap of all announcements made during Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our full coverage [here].
