If you’re a fan of the spooky Metroidvania experience, chances are you’ve been keeping a close eye on Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong. The good news? Its release is right around the corner—and we’ve got everything you need to know about the highly anticipated launch.
Initially announced in a 2019 trailer, Silksong has gone through a pretty lengthy developmental journey.

After a six-year wait, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally set for launch on Sept. 4, 2025. Players can jump into the action starting at 9am CT (4pm CEST / 11pm JST). Make sure you check the release time according to your region.
We’ve included a countdown below to help you keep track of the release easily.
Featuring a vast haunted kingdom to explore, Silksong invites Metroidvania fans on an epic journey through mossy grottos, gilded cities, and misted moors. Its engaging acrobatic combat system pits you against over 200 ferocious enemies—beasts, hunters, assassins, kings, monsters, and knights alike. The game tests your crafting skills too, letting you weave dangerous weapons and clever traps to breeze past challenges. Along the way, you’ll complete quests and restore a fallen insect realm’s hope by driving out its lingering evil.
Priced at $19.99, Silksong will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It’ll also launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, although you need an active PC Game Pass ($11.99 per month) or Game Pass Ultimate subscription ($19.99 per month) for it.
