At long last, fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong can momentarily set aside their anticipation as the game made a fleeting appearance during today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. This short reveal ensured fans that Silksong would make its way to the Switch 2, but it didn’t stop Xbox from reminding everyone of its day one availability on Game Pass.
“REMINDER – Hollow Knight: Silksong arrives day one on Game Pass,” echoed the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter shortly after the Switch 2 showcase. The game was initially announced as a day one title for Game Pass at the 2022 Xbox Games Showcase, which suggested a release within the next year. Plans have clearly evolved, but the Game Pass promise remains unchanged.
This tweet adds to the recent flurry of Silksong tidbits surfacing over the past month, offering much-needed updates for dedicated fans. Prior to this, Xbox officially classified Silksong as an “upcoming game,” which coincided with a Steam page update, and today’s bite-sized gameplay in the Direct. Now, Xbox reaffirms their Game Pass commitment. While this might seem trivial, for Silksong enthusiasts, these news pieces form a much-desired narrative.
Amidst these updates, there’s a looming curiosity: Hollow Knight: Silksong appears poised for a 2025 release. Fans, having braved numerous delays, might approach this launch window with skepticism, yet it seems that Team Cherry is settling into this timeline with confidence.
Meanwhile, the fan base’s resilience is personified in its strongest stalwart, who continues to challenge the formidable boss, Hornet, daily, mastering the game in truly inspiring fashion. Stay tuned for more community stories and updates.
