Will Hollow Knight: Silksong be released in 2025?
First announced all the way back in February 2019, fans have been waiting patiently for years for even the smallest update. Originally envisioned as DLC for Hollow Knight, it has since grown into a full blown sequel.
It appeared at the 2022 Xbox showcase, which promised every game shown would arrive within 12 months. However, that date has obviously come and gone without Silksong materialising.
The game reappeared during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event earlier in 2025 and also featured in the Xbox showcase in June. In the latter, it was part of the teaser for the ROG Xbox Ally and said to be playable day one when the handheld releases in late 2025 - although as mentioned, we have been here before.
It is due to be playable at GamesCom this week. Are you excited for Team Cherry’s special announcement this week? Let me know by email: [email protected],
