After years of waiting, Team Cherry has officially dated Hollow Knight: Silksong for September 4. The long-awaited sequel arrives on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Xbox Game Pass availability confirmed at launch.
A New Look And A Big Promise
The reveal came alongside a fresh trailer highlighting “lethal acrobatic action”, a “vast handcrafted world”, and a huge bestiary — 200 enemies and 40 bosses — setting the stage for Hornet’s long-teased adventure.
Hands-on At Gamescom
Hollow Knight: Silksong is playable at gamescom this week, using an updated take on the demo first shown in 2019. Early impressions praise the steeper challenge and Hornet’s more agile movement compared to the Knight.
Why It Matters?
This is the first firm date for Hollow Knight: Silksong after years of radio silence and recurring teases. With a multi-platform launch and day-one Game Pass presence, one of indie gaming’s most anticipated sequels is finally imminent.
