Team Cherry have confirmed that Hollow Knight Silksong will be coming out before the holiday season this year, following the game’s appearance at last night’s Xbox Games Showcase.

Writing on the official Silksong Discord, Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffon wrote: “I confirmed BEFORE holiday – we are not tied to a console release.”

The reason for the confusion is due to the game’s sudden appearance during the Xbox ROG Ally reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase. Xbox’s Sarah Bond stated that people will be able to play Silksong on this new handheld, when the new console releases later this year.

Nintendo recently, in April 2025, included Hollow Knight Silksong in a sizzle reel for games coming to Nintendo Switch, meaning it’ll come to Switch 1 and Switch 2.

As you can imagine, the news has folks very excited. If you missed Hollow Knight, now is the perfect time to play it on Nintendo Switch.
