Is Persona 6 the Next Hollow Knight: Silksong? Fans Are Anxiously Waiting!

by

For close to a decade now, Persona 5 has graced our gaming screens, but Atlus, the developer behind it, hasn’t made an official announcement regarding Persona 6 yet. However, given the series’ enduring popularity, it’s highly likely that we’ll see another installment in the beloved JRPG franchise. As the days tick by without news on Persona 6, many fans are becoming increasingly impatient.

While some fans of Persona might be feeling frustrated with the prolonged wait, it’s comforting to know that there are numerous gamers eagerly anticipating updates on other highly-demanded titles such as Beyond Good and Evil 2 and the Knight of the Old Republic remake. However, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Persona 6 are really testing the patience of their respective fan bases, making them seem like two halves of a single coin.

Persona 6 and Hollow Knight: Silksong Have Left Their Fan Bases Waiting in Silence

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced in 2019.

Six years have passed since the initial announcement of Silksong, and although Team Cherry initially aimed for a 2023 release, that timeline is long behind us now. The developer has been relatively quiet about the sequel’s development progress, which leaves many gamers questioning whether we’ll ever get to play it.

Despite keeping a low profile, Team Cherry has been diligently working to ensure that the upcoming game, Silksong, lives up to the high standards set by its predecessor, Hollow Knight. Creating a sequel for such an adored title is no small feat, much like attempting to capture lightning in a bottle twice. It’s no wonder that the development of Silksong has taken some time. However, with fewer updates coming from the team, the anticipation for the game can feel even more prolonged. Although fans caught a glimpse of Silksong during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Event in April, the brief appearance made the wait seem even longer.

The spin-off title Persona 5: The Phantom X launches globally on June 26.

Regarding when we might catch a glimpse of “Silksong” again, there are whispers suggesting it could be featured at the Xbox Games Showcase in the upcoming month; however, this information should be treated cautiously. In truth, “Silksong” could pop up at any moment, and the same applies to “Persona 6”. Though fans eagerly anticipate Atlus revealing “Persona 6” sometime this year, the lack of communication from the studio leaves us uncertain as to whether an official announcement for the game is imminent.

Developer Team Cherry’s core group consists of only three people.

Hollow Knight: Silksong and Persona 6 Could Shake Up the 2025 Calendar

It’s already quite a treat to imagine Silksong appearing at the Xbox Games Showcase in June. But if we were to get official updates about Persona 6 this year as well, it could make for an electrifying one-two announcement! As of now, Persona 6 is more like a rich garden for speculation to flourish, and while that can be entertaining, it also intensifies the anticipation for the game’s actual release.

It remains uncertain whether we’ll be in for a surprise with games like “Silksong” and the upcoming “Persona 6.” While details about “Silksong” are scarce, there’s a good chance it might be released this year. On the other hand, the release of “Persona 6,” since it hasn’t been officially announced, seems more unlikely for this year. Either way, it will be intriguing to discover if either game holds any major surprises in the coming months.
