Several years after saying that Hollow Knight: Silksong would release within 12 months, Xbox has once again offered a vague window for the long-awaited Metroidvania, this time tying it to its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Xbox handheld console.

Silksong was all over Xbox's handheld trailer during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase, undoubtedly offering up assumptions that a release date might be incoming. Anဣd indeed, Xbox has tried to narro🔯w down its launch window, with company president Sarah Bond suggesting that Silksong would be available on the ROG Xbox Ally X at launch later this year.

Unfortunately, Bond didn't actually tell us when the Xbox handheld was releasing, which means that while she's attempted to narrow down the metroidvania's release date, we still don't actually know what date she's referring to. Also, we've heard something like this before - back in 2022, Xbox said that Silksong wouཧld, like all the other games at its showcase that year, be playable within the next 1ꦡ2 months. Clearly, that has not happened.

While it's better news than absolutely nothing, it's not exactly the release date that players were hoping for. After a series of updates led to🐎 the assumption that a Silksong release date might finally be on its way, the best we got during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest stream was a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bait-and-switcಞh for a Deadpool VR game. A𝐆nd with what certainly feels like yet another dangling of the carrot before th൲eir eyes, it feels like it's been a very tough week for Hollow Knight fans.

Never miss an announcement with our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule.
