"Upcoming game Hollow Knight: Silksong scheduled for release on September 4; priced affordably at $19.99"
Get ready, adventurers! The highly anticipated sequel to the critically-acclaimed Metroidvania title, Hollow Knight, is almost here. Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to release on September 4, 2025, and will be available on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.
This side-scrolling action game invites players to explore a macabre world filled with gothic insect-like humanoids. The game promises to build upon its predecessor's formula with a bigger world to traverse, new tools for traversal and combat, and dozens of new tough bosses.
In Hollow Knight: Silksong, players will follow a completely different protagonist, Princess Hornet, on her quest to restore her kingdom of Hallownest to its former glory. The game will cost $19.99 at retail, making it a stark contrast to big-budget AAA titles like The Outer Worlds 2 and Borderlands 4, which are trying to raise their price beyond $70.
For those who are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available to download on the day it releases. It will also be available day one in Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass. Moreover, the game will be released on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC via Windows and Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch.
The final, concrete release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced at Gamescom 2025. The game will release at the following times: 7:00 AM PT, 10:00 AM ET, 4:00 PM CEST, and 11:00 PM JST.
Hollow Knight, the original game, was praised for its FromSoftware-like environmental storytelling, beautiful 2D art design, engrossing exploration and combat, and challenging boss fights. With Silksong, fans can expect even more of the same, along with a fresh new narrative and a brand-new protagonist to guide through the dark and mysterious world of Hallownest.
On September 4, 2025, dive back into the world of Hollow Knight with Silksong. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure!
