Don't worry, confused skongers, Hollow Knight: Silksong's release definitely isn't tied to that Xbox handheld

Hollow Knight: Silksong’s collective despair has evolved. Rather than getting everything about the prospects people get news about it, they’re now left high due to some confusion about the news they’ve got about the game. Cue Team Cherry has to step in to provide a bit of explanation about Silkson’s Xbox Showcase cameo yesterday.

In case you were washing your hair, Silkson popped up between the bits Microsoft introduced the Rog Xbox Ally, a handheld. The normal hardware spins and looks cool. Additionally, Xbox’s Sarah Bond says that when Silksong pops up on the Handheld screen, the game will be “available on releases and game pass when it is released later this year.”

It’s confusing from some fans as to whether Silksong’s release was tied to the handheld release on “Holiday 2025.” Don’t worry, it’s not.

Team Cherry Marketing and Publishing Manager Matthew ‘Les’ Griffin made it very clear through the long struggle fanhive, the Silkson Discord server. “I checked before the holidays,” he wrote about the game’s release date. “We’re not tied to console releases.” He then added that Christmas means a holiday.

To give you the idea of ​​the confusion that followed the look of the Xbox Showcase, these posts responded to incompatible users who have the fantastic handle Fuleetwood_Bigmac asking Griffin that Silksong is due to release before 2026. To that, you’ll probably find it was a good cry to make things clear to the hardcore Sconger, even if it was trolling.

So, again, Hollow Knight: Silkson is coming before Christmas 2025.

To be fair, we learned the date that Silkson was playable as part of the Australian Museum exhibition before releasing it. They’ve spent some of the last few years trying to load comments on cake recipes. Their brains want a straight, incontroversial answer.
