After years of anticipation, the wait is finally over — Hollow Knight: Silksong officially launched on September 4, 2025. Fans around the world rushed to download it, and demand was so high that digital storefronts like Steam, the Nintendo eShop, and PlayStation Store briefly crashed at launch. Team Cherry’s long-awaited sequel is here, and it’s already making a massive impact.
A New Hero Takes the Spotlight
This time, players step into the shoes of Hornet, a character fans loved (and sometimes feared) from the first game. Hornet’s combat style is faster and more fluid than the Knight’s, with new tools, abilities, and movement options that make platforming even more dynamic.
A Brand-New Kingdom
Instead of returning to Hallownest, Silksong sends players into a vibrant, unfamiliar world full of dangers and secrets. The new setting includes lush landscapes, ruined cities, and mysterious biomes — and with over 150 new enemies, the variety and challenge are bigger than ever.
Launch Details
- Release Date: September 4, 2025
- Platforms: PC (Windows, macOS, Linux), Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
- Launch Time: 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET globally
The sheer excitement was so great that within hours of release, Silksong became one of the most-played games on Steam.
First Impressions
Early players are praising the game’s fluid combat, stunning art direction, and haunting soundtrack. Many say the six-year wait feels justified, as Silksong retains the soul of Hollow Knight while introducing new mechanics that make it feel fresh and challenging.
Why It Was Worth the Wait
Silksong isn’t just a sequel — it’s proof that Team Cherry is dedicated to delivering an experience polished to perfection. The game builds on everything that made Hollow Knight special, while pushing the series into bold new territory.
✨ After six long years, Silksong is no longer just a dream — it’s here, and it’s already living up to the hype.
