Summer Game Fest 2025 will be home to many announcements, and not only could Hollow Knight: Silksong be one of them, but leaker NateTheHate thinks it’s a precursor to the game’s very immediate launch.
It was only recently that I said a Hollow Knight: Silksong release was imminent. This was due to its Steam page receiving a suspicious number of updates, suggesting something big is coming. With Summer Game Fest 2025 around the corner, the stars seem to be aligning.
Now, NateTheHate—one of the most renowned leakers—has gone on record by saying that it won’t just be an appearance for Silksong.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Releases Soon, Appearing at Summer Game Fest 2025

On their June 4 “Xbox Showcase Predictions” YouTube video, NateTheHate discussed a bunch of rumors and possibilities regarding SGF 2025.
However, one game mentioned catches the eyes and ears straightaway: Hollow Knight Silksong.
“Speaking of willing things into existence, the final company for our third-party segment is going to be Team Cherry. Naturally, there’s only one game that’s associated with them, and that’s Hollow Knight: Silksong. I’m going to will it into existence, the game is going to have a presence either at Summer Game Fest [Main Showcase] or the Xbox Showcase, and it will release before the Summer of 2025 concludes.”
The leaker is adamant it’s being shown off during Summer Game Fest 2025 week.
