Hollow Knight: Silksong Might Finally Show Up at the Xbox Games Showcase
Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored to appear at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Here’s what we know so far about the long-awaited Metroidvania and its 2025 release window.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is easily one of the most highly-anticipated games right now—and fans have been waiting forever for any real updates.
After years of silence and countless missed opportunities at gaming events, there’s finally a glimmer of hope.
According to a recent leak, Silksong could be making an appearance at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8.
Yeah, we’ve all heard that before, but this time it feels a bit more promising.

🗓 Xbox Games Showcase – June 8
The Xbox Games Showcase is officially set for Sunday, June 8 at 10 AM PT, and fans are buzzing with speculation.
According to leaker eXtas1s, Hollow Knight: Silksong is scheduled to appear during the event.
Take that with a grain of salt, of course, but it wouldn’t be too surprising. Silksong has made appearances at previous Xbox events, and since it’s confirmed to be a day one Game Pass title, Xbox has every reason to highlight it again—especially if the game is still aiming for a 2025 release.

👀 What We Know So Far
Earlier this year, Silksong made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance during the Switch 2 Direct, which at least confirmed that the game is being developed for Nintendo’s next-gen console.
While there was no exact release date shared, it was mentioned that the game is targeting a launch by the end of the year.
Naturally, fans are skeptical. We’ve been down this road before, with vague windows and delayed hopes.
Still, with 2025 drawing closer, it feels like Team Cherry might finally be gearing up to start sharing more consistent updates.
🤞 Will This Be the One?
Honestly, it would be more surprising if Silksong didn’t show up at the Xbox Showcase. The game’s status as a day one Game Pass title makes it a perfect fit for Microsoft’s event, which always pushes its Game Pass lineup.
But until the day comes, fans are keeping expectations in check. After all, Hollow Knight: Silksong has skipped plenty of shows in the past, leaving fans frustrated every time it’s a no-show.
🕹 Is the Wait Finally Almost Over?
It’s been a long six years since Silksong was first announced, but things finally seem to be moving. Whether it shows up on June 8 or not, chances are we’ll start seeing more of it throughout the rest of the year—especially if that 2025 release window holds.
So go ahead and mark your calendar, but maybe keep your hype levels balanced. The wait for Silksong might actually, finally, be nearing its end.
