After years of waiting, Team Cherry has finally lifted the veil on Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release details. The studio has officially confirmed the game’s price, global launch times, and platforms, putting an end to months of speculation and leaks.
Silksong Release Date and Platforms
The long-awaited sequel will launch on September 4, 2025. Players won’t have to wait for region-based staggered releases—Silksong will arrive simultaneously across platforms. It will be available on:
- PC (Steam, GOG, and other storefronts)
- Nintendo Switch & Switch 2
- PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5
- Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S
Xbox Game Pass subscribers can also dive in on day one, making the entry point even more accessible.
Hollow Knight Silksong Official Price
Team Cherry has set the price at a surprisingly modest $19.99 USD / €19.99 EUR / ¥2300 JPY.
This marks only a slight increase from the original Hollow Knight’s $15 launch price in 2017, and fans are already praising the studio for keeping the game affordable despite its ambitious scope.
Global Release Times
Silksong will launch worldwide at the same time rather than in rolling midnight releases. Mark your calendars for:
- 7:00 AM PT
- 10:00 AM ET
- 4:00 PM CEST
- 11:00 PM JST
Interestingly, while there’s no midnight drop in North America or Europe, Australian fans technically will get a midnight launch on September 5 due to time zone differences.
What to Expect in Silksong
The gamescom 2025 trailer gave players a deeper look into the world Hornet will explore. Highlights include:
- New NPCs with insectoid designs
- A mix of dreary graveyards, swamps, and bustling cities
- Challenging new enemies and bosses
- A fast-paced escape sequence reminiscent of Ori
- Expanded platforming and combat mechanics
Team Cherry also confirmed the game will be single-player and Steam Deck Verified at launch.
