Team Cherry has finally reemerged with a release date for the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong. It’s coming out on September 4, 2025.<\/p>\n
We learned this today via a nearly-two-minute new trailer dropped by Team Cherry, which showed a ton of new footage from the game. We see Horney exploring, loads of new insectoid NPCs, dreary graveyards, swamps, a bustling city, new enemies (over 200, per the trailer!), new bosses (over 40!) an Ori-style escape sequence, and more.<\/p>\n
First announced in 2019, the release date for the long awaited sequel was finally shared more than six years after Silksong was announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n Originally confirmed for just Nintendo Switch and PC, but eventually Xbox (and Game Pass)<\/a> and later PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5<\/a>, Team Cherry has been slowly ramping up the conversation around Silksong after going quiet for a long time<\/a>.<\/p>\n A trailer officially re-revealed the game at the Xbox Bethesda Showcase in June 2022<\/a>, at which point Xbox also confirmed the game would be available sometime within the next 12 months<\/a>. Team Cherry didn’t say anything itself, however, leaving some speculation around its release date.<\/p>\n The fervor has reached a fever-pitch in recent weeks, as the game was revealed to be playable at Gamescom<\/a>, and Geoff Keighley teased with some new footage at Gamescom Opening Night Live<\/a> yesterday. The community around Silksong has turned the long wait for a release date into a meme over the years, getting worked up over chocolate cake recipes<\/a> and metaphorically “putting on clown makeup<\/a>” every time a new showcase dropped.<\/p>\n Congrats to the Silksong lovers.
