Silksong has been years in the making now, and the game just made itself known after long stretches of silence.

While the live chat may usually suggest otherwise, few people expected Hollow Knight: Silksong to appear during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, but here we are.

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.
