"Hollow Knight: Silksong Team's VR Callout Surprises Fans"

During the world premiere of Marvel’s Deadpool VR at Summer Game Fest 2025 (SGF 2025), Hollow Knight: Silksong received an unexpected mention. Discover how Team Cherry responded to this surprising crossover.

Silksong Name-Dropped During Deadpool VR Premiere

No Silksong Trailer at Summer Game Fest 2025

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the long-awaited sequel to Team Cherry’s critically acclaimed indie title, was expected by many to make a splash at SGF 2025. Following recent rumors and a Steam package update in June, anticipation was high for new details or even a surprise trailer drop. However, the only official mention came not from Team Cherry, but from Marvel’s Deadpool VR world premiere.

During the event hosted by Geoff Keighley, a humorous message from Deadpool himself was read aloud, concluding with a cheeky remark: “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 gaming community quickly took notice, responding with a mix of amusement and disappointment. While some fans embraced the joke with memes and witty retorts, others expressed frustration over the missed opportunity for a Silksong reveal, dubbing it “The Dead Pool Incident.”

On the other hand, Deadpool VR is confirmed to launch as a Meta Quest 3 and 3S exclusive in late 2025. For a full recap of all major announcements from Summer Game Fest 2025, check out our detailed coverage [here].
