Despondent players rejoice, as Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally, truly, seriously almost here.
During a special presentation on Thursday during Gamescom 2025, Team Cherry revealed that Hollow Knight: Silksong is launching on Sept. 4, 2025.
As a Metroidvania title like its predecessor, Hollow Knight: Silksong tasks players with exploring the land of Pharloom. Players control Hornet, the princess of Hallownest, which itself is the land that was the setting of the first Hollow Knight.
Hollow Knight is known for its high level of difficulty and vague storytelling, with the narrative unfolding in the background through vague clues as players explore a fallen kingdom of insects.
Hollow Knight: Silksong features over 200 foes in its "handcrafted" world, with the developers adding that there are over 40 bosses to conquer.
