Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date Confirmed – September 4, 2025
Silksong Release Date Confirmed
After years of anticipation, Team Cherry has finally confirmed the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong — . The game will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. It will also launch on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
Why It Took So Long
In an interview with Bloomberg, Team Cherry revealed the reason behind the delay. As a small indie team, they focused on polishing the game, expanding its world, and refining gameplay mechanics. The project grew in scale naturally, leading to more bosses, richer animations, and expanded exploration — making the wait worthwhile.
Gameplay Previews
At Gamescom 2025, Silksong made its first public appearance since 2019. Playable demos showcased fast-paced combat, smooth healing mechanics, and deeper world interactivity. Early previews from outlets like GamesRadar praised its combat fluidity and world-building, affirming it is a worthy successor to Hollow Knight.
Final Thoughts
As a long-time fan, I believe the September release is a testament to quality over speed. With over 200 enemies, layered environments, and refined design, Silksong looks set to be one of the most memorable releases of 2025.
