A well-known insider has revealed a possible release window for Hollow Knight: Silksong!
Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong have been waiting for what feels like forever, but there’s finally a reason to get excited. According to a well-known insider, eXtas1s, the long-awaited sequel might be dropping in June 2025, but before you mark your calendars, there’s a catch.
During a new video on their YouTube channel, eXtas1s mentioned that Silksong was referenced in an Xbox ID@Xbox post, which highlights upcoming titles. That alone is huge because it means the game is still very much in Xbox’s plans.
But the real eye-opener? The insider claims that the current expectation is a June release, though they were quick to point out that this date could still change. The June timing actually makes a lot of sense.
“Hollow Knight: Silksong is a game that, in principle, is planned for June. But, ‘planned for June’ is subject to change. That is, it could simply be a placeholder,” they said. (machine translated)
Hollow Knight: Silksong Rumored Release Date
Microsoft’s fiscal year ends on June 30, and companies often aim to release major projects before that deadline. However, it’s possible that June is just a placeholder, meaning we could still be waiting longer.
Another interesting detail is how much Xbox seems to be backing this game. With Silksong being part of the ID@Xbox program, there’s a good chance it could launch straight into Game Pass, which would be massive for fans who have been holding out.
So, when will we actually get confirmation? If this timeline is accurate, there’s a strong chance that a Nintendo Direct or some other big event could finally bring the announcement everyone has been waiting for. Until then, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope this leak turns out to be true.
One thing’s for sure, after years of silence from Team Cherry, Silksong is still very much alive. Now, it’s just a matter of when we’ll finally get to play it.
