When is Hollow Knight Silksong out? Release date and time
Silksong releases in early September on all platforms

Hollow Knight Silksong will be out soon, the famed sequel launching on all major platforms within the week. The release date and even release time have been a point of focus for those who want to experience Hollow Knight Silksong as early as possible, so below we’ve laid out all the release times by region and when you can expect to play it for yourself if you’ve waiting for launch hour.
Hollow Knight Silksong release date and times
Hollow Knight Silksong will be released simultaneously on all platforms at the following date and times, as laid out in this Bluesky Post:
- PT: September 4 2025, 7AM
- ET: September 4 2025, 10AM
- BST: September 4 2025, 3PM
- CEST: September 4 2025, 10AM

It’s important to keep in mind though that at time of writing, there is no option to pre-order Hollow Knight Silksong on any platform or console. Their respective store pages for the game exist, but there’s no option to purchase the game prior to its release right now, nor to download in advance. Still, with Silksong being hand-drawn 2D graphics and very much an indie game, we’re hopeful that the file size won’t be some enormous one that takes days to download. Still, we’ll be sure to update this page if we hear more on either account.

As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
