A new report has narrowed down the release window for Hollow Knight Silksong, giving fans a clearer idea of when the highly anticipated game might launch.
There aren’t many indie games that have held people’s attention quite like Hollow Knight: Silksong. Since it was first revealed, fans have been watching every move Team Cherry makes, hoping for any sign of a release date.
The recent Xbox Games Showcase only added more fuel to the fire, showing off Silksong during the presentation and confirming that it’s still on track for launch later this year. On top of that, the announcement tied Silksong to the new ROG Xbox Ally handheld, making the wait even more exciting for fans who want to play on the go.
But now, it looks like we might have a much clearer idea of when Silksong could actually release. Thanks to a new leak, the wait might not be quite as long as people feared.
New Details on Hollow Knight Silksong Release Date
This new rumor comes from eXtas1s, a well-known leaker who has shared reliable info in the past. According to a report, the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds are set to launch in mid-October 2025, with pre-orders opening in August.
Here’s where things get interesting: Silksong was featured heavily in the handheld’s marketing during the recent showcase event. Xbox president Sarah Bond specifically called out the game, saying, “The highly anticipated Hollow Knight Silksong will be available at launch and in Game Pass when the Ally releases later this year.”
While Microsoft has officially confirmed that the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds will arrive in “Holiday 2025,” this new info points to a more specific window. The leak hints that Silksong could be targeting a mid-October 2025 release to match up with the handheld’s debut.
Keep in mind, Team Cherry still hasn’t given an exact release date for Silksong. But with Microsoft’s “Holiday 2025” target for the ROG Xbox Ally and this new leak pointing to mid-October, it definitely feels like we can narrow things down a bit. Still, nothing’s set in stone just yet, so it’s best to take everything with a grain of salt until there’s an official announcement.
