Hollow Knight: Silksong could arrive sooner than expected

Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the video games that has been subject to more speculation in recent years. That comes from the fact that its predecessor, Hollow Knight, is a true masterpiece of the platformer genre that combines Souls-like combat and Metroidvania-style gameplay to deliver an incredible experience. The game is massively popular among the fans of the genre who eagerly await the highly anticipated release of its sequel. So far, developer Team Cherry has been flying under the radar since the game was announced, but we know that the development of Hollow: Knight Silksong is still a thing.

Xbox lineup

Microsoft has renewed the hope of the fans with a statement in a new post about its ID@Xbox program. It seems that Hollow Silk: Silksong is part of their lineup of upcoming games, which opens the door to a possible release that may happen sooner than expected.

"Our mission with ID@Xbox has always been to empower teams to achieve more with Xbox. Over the years, our program has evolved to bring ID@Xbox games to players on more screens and in new ways through Game Pass and Stream Your Own Game. We’re focused on helping independent teams enable Xbox Play Anywhere to reach more players – allowing seamless play across console, PC, and cloud. No matter where people choose to play, we’re working with developers to make the most of the features unique to that device or screen. Looking ahead, our lineup is incredible with upcoming games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Descenders Next, and FBC: Firebreak to play across the whole Xbox universe… and of course Hollow Knight: Silksong too! "

The release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is around the corner and FBC: Firebreak should arrive sometime this year. If Hollow Knight: Silksong is on the same boat as these we could be looking at a release in 2025 or early 2026. Of course, Team Cherry is completely silent on this matter and it's quite unlikely that we will have any statement from the studio until they decide to announce a release date. In any case, we will have to wait a bit longer to know about a possible release.

As usual, remember that our comparator will provide you with the best offers for Hollow Knight: Silksong as soon as they are available if you don't want to miss the epic return of the iconic platformer series.
