Hollow Knight Silksong release date

The awaited sequel finally has a concrete date and a spotlight at Gamescom

Hollow Knight Silksong confirms September 4 release date

Hollow Knight Silksong has a release date set for September 4. The news came during a special YouTube stream and the game will be playable at Gamescom in Cologne, at both Nintendo and Xbox booths.
The project began as a DLC for Hollow Knight and grew into a full sequel after years of development. Fans have followed every rumor at major events since 2023, turning the wait into a running meme. Even with a date now set, some worry about another postponement, so the mood remains cautiously optimistic.

The date ends a long period of uncertainty for fans who kept hope alive through endless chatter and memes. Turning a potential DLC into a full sequel changed expectations and placed the release on a bigger stage. The studio now faces the task of converting hype into steady sales and ongoing engagement with players.
Revealing the date at Gamescom gives the launch momentum and media attention but also raises the bar for a smooth rollout. The risk is not just about another delay but about keeping the community energized after the initial wave of excitement fades.

The next phase will show whether the long wait was worth the wait
