You might soon be able to get your hands on Hollow Knight: Silksong, if the latest whispers from a trusted leaker, Extas1s, turn out to be true. According to the leak, there’s a possibility that this eagerly awaited sequel could be making its entry by June 2025, although some folks think this date could just be a tentative target Team Cherry is aiming for to sync the release with Xbox Game Pass.
Even though excitement for the release date is palpable, Hollow Knight: Silksong is making waves by leading the Steam wishlist charts, ahead of even Elden Ring: Nightreign. This shows that despite the uncertainty, anticipation for this game is sky-high.
Players have been eagerly waiting since Hollow Knight: Silksong was first unveiled back in February 2019. Initially celebrated as an Xbox Game Pass day one title the same year, updates from Team Cherry over the years have been sporadic at best. However, in January, Matthew Griffin of Team Cherry reassured fans that development is ongoing, fueling hopes for this action-packed platformer. Xbox hasn’t been shy to keep the game’s name in the mix, featuring it in one of their latest Xbox Wire posts, making players curious about its release on Xbox.
As for Extas1s’ claims, the leaker outlines that the game is planned to release on Xbox Game Pass by June 2025, possibly setting this as a deadline between Team Cherry and Microsoft. However, there’s skepticism on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit about this timeline, with various users casting doubt on whether this deadline might truly be met.
Despite the speculation and doubt, there’s a buzz among fans who are eager to finally embark on the journey that Silksong promises. It’s causing quite a stir with its spot at the top of Steam’s wishlist charts, outpacing highly anticipated titles like FromSoftware’s Elden Ring: Nightreign.
While specific details on Silksong’s progress remain under wraps, the game holds its ground as one of the most awaited releases for 2025. Excitement might well skyrocket if a new version is hinted for an upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 during the Nintendo Direct on April 2. Fans have long speculated about its showing at various Nintendo presentations since the game was first announced.
