Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Date Revealed – September 4, 2025 — New Release Date Trailer Here!

After years of speculation, delays, and what fans jokingly called “Silksanity,” Team Cherry has finally given the world what it’s been waiting for. Hollow Knight: Silksong will officially launch on September 4, 2025, across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms. The announcement was revealed during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase with a stunning new trailer that not only confirmed the release date but also teased fresh mechanics and gameplay flourishes.

The trailer wastes no time in reminding us why Silksong has become one of the most anticipated indie sequels of all time. Hornet darts gracefully through Pharloom, her combat sharper and more acrobatic than ever. Keen-eyed fans quickly noticed a glimpse of a new crafting system, which appears to allow Hornet to create tools mid-adventure—something entirely new for the series. This addition, combined with her silk-powered healing and traversal abilities, suggests an even deeper, more tactical approach to exploration and combat. Check out SilkSong Demo here.

Performance was also a major talking point at Gamescom. Journalists on the show floor reported that Silksong runs beautifully on all platforms, with the Nintendo Switch 2 in particular impressing with a 120 Hz TV mode. This ensures that Hornet’s rapid dashes, parries, and boss battles feel smooth and fluid, a huge step forward for those who plan to experience the game on handheld hardware.

Beyond the technical achievements, the announcement means one very important thing for fans: the wait is finally over. Since its reveal in 2019, Silksong has become something of a legend in the gaming community, with countless memes, theories, and false alarms fueling years of anticipation. Now, with a firm September release date, excitement is boiling over. Players can also rest easy knowing the game will launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, ensuring it’s accessible to an even wider audience right from the start.

Hollow Knight: Silksong promises not just to continue the legacy of the original but to expand it in bold new directions. With new areas to explore, fresh systems to master, and Hornet stepping into the spotlight, Team Cherry is setting the stage for one of 2025’s biggest releases. Whether you’re diving into Pharloom on PC, console, or Switch 2, September 4 is now circled in red on the calendars of gamers everywhere.
