Beyond Switch 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong is also dropping for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, as well as Microsoft’s upcoming portables, ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. With a release window in sight, it’s probably a great time to play Hollow Knight.

Eight years on from the release of Hollow Knight, the highly anticipated sequel is finally upon us. Silksong launches on September 4, 2025. Team Cherry confirmed the news after years of intrigue, speculation, and more than enough ‘silkposts’ to drown the community.

As revealed this morning via YouTube, Hollow Knight: Silksong is officially releasing on September 4! No, this isn’t some dream, nor is this some late April Fool’s joke; it’s the real deal! Give the trailer a watch, you’ll see we aren’t lying. Back? See, I told you, and unless a comet hits the planet, that release date is fully locked in.

There's even been an official message from the Dreamers—uh, they sacrificed a bunch of people by banning them, it's a long story: "48 HOURS REMAIN. SILKSKONGERS, THIS IS IT! IT'S NOT BAIT! IT'S OVER! THEY BROKE THE SILENCE! SOME EXPECTED RADIO SILENCE EVEN AFTER THE DATE WAS REVEALED! BUT NAY! THIS IS IT! SKONGERS, WE HAVE WON!"

The new Hollow Knight Silksong platformer took over six years to make simply because Team Cherry felt it needed all that time to make it their best game.

Team Cherry has explained why Hollow Knight: Silksong went without updates for years during its lengthy development cycle. After almost a decade of work, the game is set to release on September 4 2025. Fans had long speculated about the reasons for the silence, with many questioning whether the game was still in active development.

The wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong is almost over, with Team Cherry announcing today that the game will finally release on September 4, 2025, over six years after it was first announced.
