Team Cherry has finally announced the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong, with the game set to release on September 4, 2025.

It's real. It's actually finally happening. After being announced in 2019, and Xbox saying it will be out by June 2023, Silksong finally has a release date. It's been in the cards over the last few months with The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct confirming a 2025 release date, Xbox saying the game will be available when the Xbox ROG Ally launches, and the news that it will be playable at Gamescom meant we knew it would be soon. And Team Cherry posting a YouTube stream titled "Hollow Knight: Silksong Special Announcement" was the light at the end of the tunnel.
