During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct event, Hollow Knight: Silksong was briefly showcased, confirming that the game will arrive on this new platform. This announcement has offered a ray of hope to passionate fans of the saga, who have been waiting for news about this sequel since its announcement.
A confirmation we did not expect, still without a specific date
Additionally, it is reiterated that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on Xbox Game Pass from the first day of its release, as previously announced at the Xbox Showcase in 2022. This confirmation adds a positive note for Game Pass subscribers, who will be able to access the game at no additional cost upon its arrival.
Despite speculation that Hollow Knight: Silksong could be released in 2025, fans are cautious about this date due to the delays the game has faced in the past. Although the Team Cherry studio seems committed to this new date, fans of the series have learned not to fully trust timelines, having experienced disappointments before.
In the last month, several signs have fueled the conversation about the game. First, Xbox classified it as a “coming soon” game, followed by an update on the Steam page and a brief gameplay clip shown during the Nintendo presentation. With each small announcement, Hollow Knight fans find new reasons to keep hope alive, although some consider it to be crumbs rather than a full feast.
In summary, the situation of Hollow Knight: Silksong remains a hot topic among fans, who continue to be eager for the possibility of finally enjoying the long-awaited sequel in 2025.
