The day that millions of gamers around the world have been waiting for has finally arrived. After nearly a decade of development, Team Cherry’s highly anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong officially launched on September 4, 2025. The indie Metroidvania title became available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC platforms, priced at $19.99 across all stores.
The game’s release marked the end of one of the longest waits in gaming history. Originally announced in February 2019 as downloadable content for the original Hollow Knight, the project eventually grew into a full standalone sequel. The wait became so notorious that Hollow Knight fans had turned into a running joke, with supporters often posting clown imagery whenever gaming showcases failed to deliver Silksong news.
