After years of development and pent-up anticipation from fans, Hollow Knight: Silksong, the full sequel to the indie classic Hollow Knight, will finally be released on September 4th. It will cost $19.99 and include new zones, more than 200 enemies, over 40 bosses, and an orchestral score from the composer of the first game.
Silksong was first announced in 2019, two years after the release of Hollow Knight, but developers Team Cherry have stayed pretty quiet about the sequel in the years since — even after a planned launch window was announced in 2022, which was followed by a delay months later. In an interview with Bloomberg, Team Cherry co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen said that the game was “never stuck”; instead, the small team working on Silksong was just taking its time.
Team Cherry announced Silksong’s release date just two weeks ahead of the game’s launch. The game is launching on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.
