Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date is Now Official
After years of near-silence, Team Cherry confirmed that the long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel Silksong will launch on September 4, 2025 across all major platforms.
One of gaming’s most anticipated and most-delayed titles finally has a firm release date, ending a wait that stretches back to the game’s 2019 reveal.
The short version
- Hollow Knight: Silksong launches Thursday, September 4, 2025.
- It releases across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
- The game will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
- Silksong features more than 200 enemies and over 40 bosses.
- Fans had waited since the sequel’s 2019 announcement, with Team Cherry staying largely quiet until a 2025 confirmation at Gamescom.
- The hand-drawn Metroidvania follows protagonist Hornet and blends platforming with Soulslike difficulty.
Why it matters
Silksong became a running joke about vaporware after years of delays and silence, so a concrete, near-term date is a major moment for the indie scene and for the millions who wishlisted it. Launching directly into Game Pass also guarantees an enormous day-one audience and underscores how influential the original Hollow Knight remains.
