Known insider and content creator eXtas1stv took to Twitter/X to share that, based on his information, Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to make an appearance at the recently announced Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, 2025.
If Hollow Knight: Silksong will indeed be present at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, 2025, it’s highly likely that the game will also be getting a release date.
