Arecent Nintendo Switch 2 Directgave it a 2025 release window (something targeted publicly by the devs before), but no specific date was given. There’s also the question whetherSilksongwill appear on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

When Hollow Knight: Silksong Comes To Game Pass
There’s Still No Confirmed Release Date Other Than 2025
Hollow Knight: Silksongis scheduled for release in 2025,although an exact launch date has not yet been confirmed. I suspect it will be released Q4, but I’m hoping for a sooner release date.
