Hollow Knight: Silksong has been confirmed to release in the next 12 months.
One of the best surprises at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase was a brief look at Hollow Knight: Silksong, which was revealed to be coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one.

The official Xbox Twitter account even acknowledged this when it Tweeted out, "Everything you’re seeing today is playable over the next 12 months". One Twitter user replied to that Tweet with "So you’re telling me Silksong is out within the next 12 months", to which Xbox said, "That's exactly what we said".
