Persona 6 is Rapidly Turning Into the Next Hollow Knight: Silksong

Oh man, so it’s been almost a decade since Persona 5 launched, right? Hard to believe it’s been that long, and still zero official word from Atlus about Persona 6. I mean, it feels like everyone’s just kinda waiting, tapping their toes impatiently, yearning for some news. Maybe it’s coming. Maybe not. Who even knows at this point?

Now, while die-hard Persona fans might be losing patience, there’s a sort of, oh I don’t know, comfort in knowing they aren’t alone. Other gamers are also in this purgatory-like state, eagerly anticipating other big hitters like Beyond Good and Evil 2 or that Knights of the Old Republic remake. But boy, Hollow Knight: Silksong? That game’s pushing its fans to the edge. Honestly, Persona 6 and Silksong are like peas in a pod in this limbo game, if you catch my drift.

Okay, hold up—Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced way back in 2019. It’s six long years since then, and Team Cherry—the wizards behind Hollow Knight—seemed to have their sights on 2023 for the release. But here we are, and… nada. Originally, they had a launch window; now that’s two years in the rearview mirror, and they’ve been rather mum about progress. It’s kind of like waiting for a train that might not even be coming, isn’t it?

Despite Team Cherry staying quiet, everyone knows they’re busting their tails to make Silksong a worthy successor. Shooting for that lightning-in-a-bottle magic again is no joke. Once, fans caught a fleeting glimpse—like, blink and you miss it—of Silksong during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Event in April. Yet, the radio silence continues to stretch out.

And just when you think it’s dead quiet, there are those whispers—rumors swirling that maybe, just maybe, Silksong might pop up at the Xbox Games Showcase next month. But really, rumors are just that—rumors. Silksong and Persona 6 could make an appearance anytime, and that hope keeps everyone on edge. Fans are crossing their fingers that Atlus finally spills the beans on Persona 6 this year, but hey, with silence reigning, it’s anybody’s guess when an official announcement might drop.

By the way—interesting tidbit—Team Cherry’s core team? Just three people. Wild, right?

Jumping back to Persona and Silksong, if either decided to crash the Xbox Games Showcase or anywhere this year, it’d be enough to get hearts racing. Imagine it, though—official reveals of both Silksong and Persona 6 within a year! Now that’s the kind of news that could set the gaming world on fire. As of now, Persona 6 is fertile ground for all sorts of wild speculation, though with that comes a noticeable void.

Who knows, maybe 2025 will shake everything up. While Silksong remains shrouded in mystery, it looks more likely to drop before Persona 6—which, let’s face it, hasn’t even had a formal “Hey, we exist!” moment yet. No matter what goes down, the coming months might just serve up some epic surprises. Fingers crossed, right?
