The wait is finally over. Hollow Knight: Silksong has a release date at last. After years of silence, rumors, and endless speculation, Team Cherry has officially locked in September 4, 2025 as the big day. Fans who’ve been holding out for this sequel can now circle the date and start counting down.
Silksong will arrive on all major platforms on day one, including PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox consoles, and both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. It’ll also be available through Steam, GOG, Humble Store, and even Xbox Game Pass, meaning plenty of ways to dive in right from the start.
The long delay? Turns out Team Cherry wasn’t struggling — they were having too much fun. The developers have been open about how the project kept expanding as they added more weapons, items, bosses, and surprises. Instead of rushing, they leaned into the creative flow, building something far bigger than originally planned. That explains why the wait has been so long, but also why Silksong is shaping up to be absolutely packed.
Now, with a firm release date in place, the countdown has begun for one of the most anticipated indie games ever. For Hollow Knight fans, September 4th can’t come soon enough.
