Summary
Hollow Knight:Silksongcould release as early as this summer, according to one leaker. The sequel to Team Cherry’s beloved Metroidvania has faced such a long, quiet wait that it’s become something of a meme, but it seems increasingly likely that the fated release date is finally near. There’s still no official date to be seen, but some believe thatHollow Knight: Silksongis not far off.
After years of waiting, the excitement aroundSilksongbegan to wane from its once-staggering peak. However, things have picked up again this year, thanks to a handful of promising updates, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Directconfirming thatHollow Knight:Silksongwill release in 2025, barring another unexpected delay. Now that the summer’s lineup of notable gaming events has kicked off, speculation is swirling even more.
Leaker and gaming news creator Nate the Hate made some bold predictions aboutSilksongin a YouTube video discussing the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. According to Nate the Hate, Team Cherry could show off the game at either the Xbox showcase or Summer Game Fest and release it before the summer of 2025 is over. While he doesn’t cite a source for the information, fans have noticed thata new version ofHollow Knight:Silksongwas uploaded to Steam servers, potentially indicating that a release, possibly even a shadow drop, is incoming.
Leaker Predicts Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release Before Summer 2025 Is Over
It’s worth noting that Nate the Hate started hisSilksongprediction by saying he’s “willing it into existence,” suggesting he may not have an inside source for the information. However, he wouldn’t be the first to pinpoint the summer of 2025 as a window when fans could learn more about the title. Previous rumors hold thatHollow Knight: Silksongwill be part of the Xbox Games Showcaseon June 8. Microsoft has already confirmed thatSilksongwill be a day-one Xbox Game Pass title, so the showcase would be a reasonable place to drop another trailer or announce an official release date.
Alternatively, Summer Game Fest later today on June 6, could have some news in store. If nothing else, aversion ofHollow Knight: Silksongwill be available in Septemberas part of an Australian museum exhibit, so the game will be playable in some form before 2025 is up. Many seem to think that it will drop or at least get a specific release date before then, but fans will have to wait for official word from Team Cherry to know for sure.
