Yesterday, during the excitement of Nintendo presenting their new Nintendo Switch 2 console, along with popular games such as the pricy $80 Mario Kart World, it might have gone unnoticed that a glimpse was given to the elusive game, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

In the video provided, you’ll catch a glimpse of a brief snippet from Team Cherry’s eagerly awaited platformer game. This snippet is one among many trailers showcasing diverse third-party titles slated for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

An extensive selection features games like Cyberpunk 2077, the remake of Final Fantasy 7, Hogwarts Legacy, Street Fighter 6, and a combination of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4, along with several others.

Additionally, as a sneak peek at the long-awaited game title, the Xbox social media crew shared on Twitter that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on Xbox Game Pass simultaneously with its release.

Important Notice – The game ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ will be available for immediate play through Game Pass from its release date, with no further details mentioned.
