Summary

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong's Xbox page might be hinting at an imminent release date announcement.
  • It was discovered by Silksong fans that the game's Xbox store page was edited earlier toay, most likely by Team Cherry, for the first time since November last year.
  • While we don't know what the edit was, it's a good sign that this has happened just two weeks before Xbox's big showcase next month.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is supposedly coming this year, though you still have a few people that are understandably erring on the side of caution. Nintendo has insisted that Silksong will be released at some point in 2025, and it was recently revealed that a playable version of Silksong will feature at an Australian video game museum exhibition later this year, but despite this, we still don't have a confirmed date.

That could be set to change pretty soon though, as Silksong fans recently made a discovery that seems to suggest that team Cherry made be prepping for an imminent announcement. First shared by a Reddit user called TomNook5085 with the Silksong subreddit, a subreddit dedicated to Hollow Knight and YouTuber Primacon discovered something rather interesting about Silksong's Xbox page.

Hollow Knight: Silksong's Xbox Page Hints At Imminent Announcement

They discovered that Hollow Knight: Silksong's Xbox page was manually edited earlier today, though we don't know who by or what the changes were. A lot of the effort made recently was to confirm that the page had been edited, and Silksong fans discovered that a manual edit was made at what they believe to be 6:38AM UTC.

If not now, then when?

If you convert that time to the time in Adelaide (the place where developer Team Cherry is located), you get the time 4:08PM, which is within working times of the studio. If you convert 6:38AM UTC to the time in Washington (the place where Microsoft and Xbox are based), you get 2:38AM, meaning it's very likely an edit made by Team Cherry. The code for the Xbox page was even shared, allowing you to see the edit for yourself if you CTRL-F the phrase "2025".

If this is all true, Team Cherry making direct edits to the Hollow Knight: Silksong Xbox page - right before the summer period, which has all the big gaming showcases - suggests that we'll get some news of some kind. With almost half the year gone, and Team Cherry and Nintendo insistent we'll get a 2025 release, it feels like this news couldn't be anything other than that long-awaited release date.

Of course, it's worth keeping expectations in check. We have been silkposted by Xbox before in the past, but there is finally a reason to be cautiously optimistic, and maybe look ahead to that Xbox Showcase on June 8. Our wait for a release date might be over in just a couple of weeks.
