There’s
increasing
circumstantial
evidence
that
Hollow
Knight:
Silksong
might
finally
be
properly
shown
at
the
upcoming
Xbox
Games
Showcase,
and
perhaps
could
even
be
shadow
dropped
like
Hi-Fi
Rush
was.
The
latest
piece
of
news
to
get
the
beleaguered
Hollow
Knight
fanbase
excited
comes
from
Nintendo
which
has
released
a
trial
version
of
Hollow
Knight
for
Nintendo
Switch
Online
subscribers,
letting
you
download
and
play
the
game
at
no
cost.
This
trial,
which
contains
the
entire
game,
will
be
available
until
June
12,
a
few
days
after
Summer
Game
Fest
ends.
Nintendo
is
also
scheduled
to
hold
a
Direct
event
in
June,
although
no
exact
day
has
been
revealed.

It
seems
rather
odd
to
offer
a
trial
for
a
game
that’s
been
readily
available
for
years,
hence
speculation
that
this
has
been
done
to
coincide
with
the
sequel
being
shown
off
at
one
of
the
showcase
events.
Some
people
are
even
idly
wondering
if
it
could
indicate
that
Hollow
Knight:
Silksong
will
be
available
to
play
immediately
after
making
its
grand
on-stage
debut.
We
also
know
that
Silksong
will
be
launching
onto
Game
Pass
straight
away,
increasing
the
odds
that
it
could
appear
at
the
Xbox
Games
Showcase
on
June
9.
Other
evidence
also
appeared
recently
when
Hollow
Knight:
Silksong
rated
for
release
in
South
Korea,
a
typically
very
reliable
sign
that
a
game
is
nearing
release.
It
also
got
an
official
Xbox
store
page
a
few
months
back.
All
of
this
could
mean
nothing,
but
the
timing
is
certainly
compelling.
And
who
can
blame
fans
for
getting
excited?
Hollow
Knight
is
a
beloved
gem
and
the
sequel,
Hollow
Knight:
Silksong
was
announced
five
years
ago.
It
was
meant
to
release
in
2023
but
was
pushed
back.
Information
about
what
to
expect
has
been
slim
to
none.
What
do
you
think?
Could
Silksong
not
only
appear
at
the
Summer
Game
Fest
but
may
even
be
released?
