Silksong Gets a Surprise Mention at Deadpool VR Premiere

Summer Game Fest 2025 Delivers No Silksong Trailer

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the much-awaited sequel to Team Cherry's popular indie action-adventure platformer, was a hot topic at Summer Game Fest 2025. Fans were eager for news after recent shadow-drop rumors and a Steam package update in early June. Instead of a new reveal, Silksong was only referenced in a casual name-drop during the debut of Marvel's Deadpool VR.

SGF 2025 host Geoff Keighley read a message from the Marvel superhero Deadpool, which concluded with a cheeky remark: "Do me a favor and skip that Silksong trailer so you can check out my groundbreaking VR game that's set to shake up the industry, probably."

The Silksong fanbase responded to the Merc with a Mouth with a mix of amusement and disappointment in the following days. Some shared playful memes about the moment, while others expressed genuine frustration, dubbing it "The Dead Pool Incident" for supposedly costing them a Silksong trailer.

Marvel's Deadpool VR is officially scheduled to launch as a Meta Quest 3/3S exclusive in late 2025. For a full rundown of announcements and games featured at Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our article linked below!
