While this has fans excited, it is important to remember that all leaks and rumors should be treated with skepticism until an official announcement is made. Until Microsoft or ROG confirms this information, it is nothing more than speculation. eXtas1s has been proven to be correct in the past, but he has also been off with some of his leaks.
One aspect of this information that has stirred up a response is what it means for Hollow Knight: Silksong. While Team Cherry’s PR denied the Metroidvania being tied to a console, it was and is heavily promoted with the Xbox ROG Ally. Fans have been theorizing this means an October release date for the highly-anticipated game, especially with the fact that it will be playable in September.
Only time will time when the Xbox ROG Ally releases. Do you plan to pre-order or purchase the handheld on day one? Let us know in the comments below!
