Silksong hopefuls can put away the clown makeup that accompanies every major video game showcase, as the Metroidvania actually did make a very brief appearance amid today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct news.

There's no release date, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is still on the way to Xbox Game Pass. Amid the fervor yesterday as Nintendo unveiled its Nintendo Switch 2 console and accompanying games like the expansive $80 Mario Kart World, you'd be forgiven for missing the fact that we saw the reclusive Hollow Knight: Silksong, however briefly.

After years of anticipation, Hollow Knight Silksong has finally received a 2025 release window, and the best part? It’s coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one.
