After years of nothing, there’s growing evidence to suggest we’re finally about to get another glimpse at the Hollow Knight sequel. Hollow Knight: Silksong has become one of the most anticipated sequels in recent memory, to the point where every games presentation is flooded with unfounded hope of another look at the title. We last saw footage of the sequel in June 2022 at the Xbox Games Showcase, where it was billed as being released within the following 12 months.
Obviously that didn’t happen, with developer Team Cherry confirming it had been delayed in May last year. We’ve heard nothing since then but all eyes are now on the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, after a prominent leaker indicated it will finally be shown for the first time in two years. On Thursday, leaker eXtas1s shared artwork of Silksong with the phrase ‘tick tock’ alongside a watch and green and orange heart emojis – implying that an update is imminent.
While it’s not explicit, the green emoji suggests a possible appearance at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, which makes sense as that’s where it last appeared two years ago. TIC TAC âï ̧ ð𧡠pic.twitter.
com/nOVJNGbIGc eXtas1s has a good track record for leaks. In recent months, he’s correctly leaked the Hellblade 2 release date and the existence of an Octopath Traveler 2 port for Xbox. They also outed plans for a white digital Xbox Series X earlier this year, which is also expected to be announced at the showcase.
