It’s Official: Hollow Knight Silksong Price and Launch Time Confirmed
After years of silence, rumors, and leaks, Team Cherry has officially confirmed two of the most anticipated details of Hollow Knight: Silksong: its price and the exact release time. The sequel to the acclaimed indie metroidvania arrives on September 4, 2025, a date fans have circled in red after one of the longest and most talked-about waits in recent indie gaming history.
Starring Hornet, the title not only expands the universe of Hallownest but also reinforces the legacy of the first Hollow Knight as one of the most successful independent games of all time.
Confirmed Price: Accessible for Everyone
The Australian studio has resolved the biggest question: Hollow Knight: Silksong will cost €19.99 / $19.99 at digital launch. A competitive price designed to keep the franchise accessible, ensuring both new players and veterans can dive into the adventure without barriers.
This price matches the leaks from recent weeks but is now officially confirmed by the developers themselves. In a market where big releases often cost €60–70, Team Cherry’s strategy reinforces its commitment to a quality-at-a-fair-price model, one of the reasons why the community holds the studio in such high regard.
Release Time: Everything Begins at 4:00 PM
The other big question was the exact time the game would unlock. Players won’t need to wait until midnight: Silksong will be available on September 4 at 4:00 PM (Spain time). This means players can begin their adventure that same afternoon, rather than staying up late for a midnight launch.
The timing matches the initial leaks and ensures a smoother global launch, particularly for European players. In the Americas, depending on the time zone, players will gain access in the early morning or around midday, creating a simultaneous worldwide debut.
Confirmed Platforms
The launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong will be multiplatform from day one, available on:
- PC and Steam Deck
- PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5
- Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
- Nintendo Switch and Switch 2
Additionally, Team Cherry confirmed that Silksong will be available on Game Pass from day one, dramatically expanding its reach and giving millions of subscribers access at no extra cost beyond their membership.
A Global Indie Launch
The confirmation of the game’s price and release time comes as a relief for the community, which had spent months speculating after numerous leaks. The studio ended the rumors with a simultaneous announcement on Twitter/X and Bluesky, delivering a clear and concise message:
“Four days until launch! Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on September 4 at 4:00 PM (Spain time). Price: €19.99.”
A brief statement that nonetheless sent hype levels soaring across social media.
Silksong: What Can We Expect?
Although the headline news is about the price and release time, it’s worth remembering what this launch represents. Silksong introduces a new protagonist, Hornet, whose mobility and combat skills bring a different approach compared to the original Knight. The game promises more vertical maps, tougher enemies, and a revamped progression system.
The jump to more platforms and the inclusion in Game Pass suggest that this sequel will have an even greater impact than the first installment, reaching a massive audience from day one.
A Historic September 4
With all the details now confirmed, the countdown to September 4 has begun. On that day, at 4:00 PM, players will finally be able to dive into Team Cherry’s new work for €19.99 and accompany Hornet on an adventure that promises to redefine the metroidvania genre.
The big question now is: have you already cleared your schedule for September 4?
