Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Times and Price Confirmed

After years of silence, anticipation, and countless rumors, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally has its global release date and time confirmed. Fans can mark their calendars for Thursday, September 4, 2025, when Team Cherry’s long-awaited sequel officially lands on PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles at a launch price of $19.99 / €19.99 / ¥2300. For a title of this scope and following, the relatively modest price tag is already sparking discussion – many calling it a bold but brilliant move.

Silksong places players in the shoes of Hornet, a beloved character from the original Hollow Knight, as she ventures into new lands teeming with insectoid civilizations, mysterious ruins, and hostile biomes.

From what we’ve seen in the freshly revealed trailer at gamescom, players can expect lush swamps, desolate graveyards, a lively city hub, and intricate labyrinths packed with dangerous foes. The video also teased frantic chase scenes reminiscent of Ori, plus several new bosses that promise to test even veteran metroidvania fans.

Importantly, Team Cherry has confirmed precise global unlock times to avoid confusion. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, New York, London, Tokyo, or Sydney, the game will become available simultaneously based on your region’s time zone. There will be no early access loopholes – every player worldwide will start at the same moment. The developers also announced that Switch owners will automatically receive free Switch 2 enhancements, ensuring the game takes advantage of Nintendo’s newer hardware without extra cost.

For those revisiting the original Hollow Knight ahead of launch, updated guides and maps are circulating to help completionists track every collectible and secret. Considering the years of speculation and the passionate fanbase, Silksong isn’t just a release; it feels like a cultural gaming event. With its price point, scale, and timing, it looks set to dominate discussion across the gaming community this September.
