Hollow Knight: Silksong Launches September 4, 2025 – Platforms & DLC Plans Revealed
Team Cherry has given |A|
an official ending to |B|
the six-year wait as |C|
Hollow Knight: Silksong was |D|
announced to launch on |E|
September 4, 2025, during |F|
Gamescom 2025. Alongside the |G|
announcement, new gameplay footage |H|
showed new areas, enemies, |J|
and bosses. In |L|
an earlier report, Team |M|
Cherry's founders Ari Gibson |O|
and William Pellen spoke |P|
about the reasons for |Q|
the long development time. |R|
The delay was not |S|
due to anything production-related-much |U|
more, all because of |V|
the actual development team |Y|
and their passion for |Z|
the project. "It's been fun," |A|
said Pellen. "This whole |B|
thing is just a |C|
vehicle for our creativity |D|
anyway." As a small studio, |E|
they kept adding things |F|
to the game. According |G|
to Gibson, the timeline |H|
was extended naturally when |J|
they realized the game |K|
was either going to |L|
match or exceed the |M|
scale of the original |O|
Hollow Knight. The team took |P|
advantage of the financial |Q|
success of the first |R|
game, selling more than |S|
15 million copies, and |U|
had the freedom to |V|
enlarge the scope of |Y|
the game without pressure. |Z|
During the last two |A|
years of development, they |B|
have reportedly been polishing |C|
a lot of content |D|
and debugging. Team Cherry |F|
has confirmed that work |G|
on DLC for Silksong |H|
has already begun, which |J|
further maintains their enthusiasm |K|
for the game even |L|
after its release. To remain |M|
fair to the original |O|
Kickstarter backers of the |P|
game, they will not |Q|
be sending pre-release review |R|
codes to any media. |S|
This means most reviews |U|
will end up being |V|
published a considerable while |Y|
after the launch date. The |A|
game sees an expansive |B|
release under the following |C|
platforms: The game will be |F|
available on 4th September |G|
