Hollow Knight Silksong Sets September 2025 Release After Seven Years

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the indie hit Hollow Knight, is set to release on September 4, 2025, across multiple platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Originally conceived as a DLC for the original game, Silksong expanded during development into a full sequel featuring over 200 enemies and 40 bosses, reflecting Team Cherry's commitment to detailed, expansive gameplay. Team Cherry has confirmed plans for post-launch content and years of future support, with an expansion already in development to further enrich the game’s universe. Unlike typical game launches, Team Cherry will not distribute review copies prior to release, aiming to provide a simultaneous experience for all players, including Kickstarter backers and fans, while also managing logistical challenges as a small team. The release of Silksong has influenced other indie developers, such as the team behind Faeland, to postpone their own game launches to avoid being overshadowed by the anticipated release. Overall, the excitement surrounding Silksong is immense, fueled by the original game's success of 15 million units sold and Team Cherry's reputation for quality and innovation in indie game development.
