Hollow Knight: Silksong, a highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed original Hollow Knight, was first announced in 2019 and features a new protagonist, Hornet, who brings unique abilities and gameplay mechanics.

While there is no confirmed release date, the game is expected to launch in 2025, following an announcement made in April.

Fans were left disappointed after the Xbox Summer Showcase in June 2025, where they anticipated significant news about the game but received minimal updates.

In the days following the showcase, Team Cherry updated the Steam page for Silksong multiple times, prompting speculation about an upcoming announcement.

These frequent updates may indicate that Team Cherry is preparing for a reveal or launch, as evidenced by changes tracked on SteamDB.

The game is also expected to be featured alongside the launch of the Xbox ROG Ally handheld in mid-October 2025, suggesting a narrower release window.

Despite past disappointments, it is anticipated that Silksong will be released before the ROG Xbox Ally, indicating Team Cherry's confidence in its nearing launch.

During the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, only a brief glimpse of the game was shown, reaffirming that Silksong is set to release sometime in 2025, though without a specific window or trailer.

Insider reports suggest that the game could potentially release by the end of summer 2025, possibly in August or September.

Team Cherry has clarified that Silksong is not tied exclusively to Xbox and is expected to be released before the holiday season of 2025.

The game gained renewed attention in 2022 when it was confirmed for Xbox and Game Pass, leading to significant updates in 2025.

Fan reactions to the updates have been mixed, with some expressing excitement while others humorously suggest the game might be released 'tomorrow' due to past anticipation experiences.
