A trusted games leaker has made a bold claim about the release date of Hollow Knight: Silksong, which will be launching day one with Xbox Game Pass. The lack of major updates on the development of Hollow Knight: Silksong has frustrated fans over the years, but the game could receive some substantial new information soon, if the leak is true.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was first revealed in February 2019, roughly two years after the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight game was released. The game was also confirmed as an Xbox Game Pass day one title that same year, but the game would go on to receive sporadic development updates from developer Team Cherry in the six years that followed. This past January, Team Cherry’s head of marketing and publishing, Matthew Griffin, re-confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong is still in development and “will release” at some point, giving fans hope about the upcoming action platformer. In addition, Xbox shouted out Hollow Knight: Silksong in one of its most recent Xbox Wire posts, making fans wonder about the game’s status for Xbox platforms.
