Red alert for those waiting for Hollow Knight Silksong. The game could well be present at the Xbox conference to make a nice announcement.
Nothing at the last Indie World, nothing at the Summer Game Fest 2022 conference, Hollow Knight Silksong was set to be the big absentee from the festivities. However, all hope is not lost for metroidvania fans since a very big surprise is on the way for Xbox.
Hollow Knight Silksong at the Xbox Conference? It is strongly possible
Despite an opening conference that divided the community, Summer Game Fest 2022 is far from over. The Guerrilla Collective and Wholesome Direct will be held this afternoon, focusing on independent and AA games, while the Future Games Show could hold some great announcements in terms of gameplay. But it is above all the Xbox + Bethesda Showcase that is expected at the turn and it should bring good news for those who are impatiently waiting for a certain metroidvania.
According to insider “The Snitch”, Hollow Knight Silksong will be available Day One on Xbox Game Pass. At this stage we can almost remove the conditional since the source in question has leaked the entire State of Play and the release date of The Last of Us Remake. It could therefore be that the Hollow Knight sequel will be talked about again during the Xbox conference, hopefully with new images and a release date as well.
Recall that Hollow Knight Silksong has been hoped for at each event since its announcement in 2019. The game fell into total silence, even though Team Cherry claimed in January 2021 that its development content was nearing its end. The title was expected at the Summer Game Fest after a teaser from its marketing manager and it could be that we have not bet on the right conference. See you this Sunday, June 12 at 7 p.m. during the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase to have the end of the story.
