Hollow Knight Silksong release date announced

Team Cherry announces Hollow Knight Silksong release date and trailer, setting a September 4 launch across major platforms.

Hollow Knight Silksong Release Date Confirmed

Hollow Knight Silksong will launch on September 4 across Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch, Team Cherry announced today along with a new trailer.

The announcement follows Gamescom's Opening Night Live where a fresh gameplay trailer was shown and Silksong was playable with a revised version of the 2019 demo. Eurogamer's Dom Peppiatt tested the hands on and noted the game's high challenge and how Hornet's movement differs from the Knight.

The release ends a long wait for a game that has become a touchstone for fans of the series. After seven years of development, the launch will test how a beloved indie title performs across multiple platforms and subscription services. The move to include Game Pass signals a broader strategy to reach casual players and seasoned fans alike, while maintaining a hard edge for fans craving challenge.

If the game delivers on its shown promise, Silksong could reinforce a trend where indie titles gain momentum through strong showings at events like Gamescom and sustained post launch accessibility.

Highlights

The launch is more than a date; it is a moment for a devoted community to celebrate a milestone.
