Excitement is building as rumors circulate that Hollow Knight: Silksong might finally get its moment in the spotlight at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Hollow Knight: Silksong stands as one of the most anticipated games in recent memory, with fans of the original title anxiously awaiting any news about its release. The prolonged silence from developers has only intensified the hunger for updates.

Each major gaming event that passes without a mention of Silksong leaves fans disheartened, often voicing their frustrations online. However, hope was briefly rekindled when Hollow Knight: Silksong made a fleeting appearance in the Switch 2 Direct, confirming its development for Nintendo’s next-gen console. While a specific release date remains elusive, the game is expected to launch sometime this year.

Given the history of delays, Hollow Knight fans remain cautiously optimistic. While the 2025 release window seems plausible, many are hesitant to get their hopes up just yet. However, the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 could be the turning point. According to insider eXtas1s, Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated to appear at the event. While this should be taken with a grain of salt, past Xbox showcases have featured the game, lending credibility to the rumor.

Adding to the anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong is confirmed as a day-one Xbox Game Pass title. Microsoft frequently highlights such games during its showcases, making Silksong a likely candidate for the event. That said, fans have been burned before by no-shows, so expectations should remain tempered.

If Hollow Knight: Silksong developer Team Cherry stays on track for a 2025 release, more frequent updates should follow. Even if the game skips the Xbox showcase, other events later this year could provide the long-awaited details. After six years since its announcement, the wait for Silksong may finally be drawing to a close.
