Leaker suggests Hollow Knight: Silksong may release before summer 2025 is over.
Hollow Knight: Silksong could release as early as this summer, according to one leaker. The sequel to Team Cherry’s beloved Metroidvania has faced such a long, quiet wait that it’s become something of a meme, but it seems increasingly likely that the fated release date is finally near. There’s still no official date to be seen, but some believe that Hollow Knight: Silksong is not far off.
After years of waiting, the excitement around Silksong began to wane from its once-staggering peak. However, things have picked up again this year, thanks to a handful of promising updates, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct confirming that Hollow Knight: Silksong will release in 2025, barring another unexpected delay. Now that the summer’s lineup of notable gaming events has kicked off, speculation is swirling even more.

Leaker and gaming news creator Nate the Hate made some bold predictions about Silksong in a YouTube video discussing the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. According to Nate the Hate, Team Cherry could show off the game at either the Xbox showcase or Summer Game Fest and release it before the summer of 2025 is over. While he doesn’t cite a source for the information, fans have noticed that a new version of Hollow Knight: Silksong was uploaded to Steam servers, potentially indicating that a release, possibly even a shadow drop, is incoming.
Leaker Predicts Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release Before Summer 2025 Is Over
It’s worth noting that Nate the Hate started his Silksong prediction by saying he’s “willing it into existence,” suggesting he may not have an inside source for the information. However, he wouldn’t be the first to pinpoint the summer of 2025 as a window when fans could learn more about the title. Previous rumors hold that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be part of the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Microsoft has already confirmed that Silksong will be a day-one Xbox Game Pass title, so the showcase would be a reasonable place to drop another trailer or announce an official release date.
Alternatively, Summer Game Fest later today on June 6, could have some news in store. If nothing else, a version of Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available in September as part of an Australian museum exhibit, so the game will be playable in some form before 2025 is up. Many seem to think that it will drop or at least get a specific release date before then, but fans will have to wait for official word from Team Cherry to know for sure.
