Finally, during a special announcement trailer at gamescom 2025, Team Cherry revealed a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. The Hornet-focused adventure will release on September 4, 2025.
Originally, Hollow Knight: Silksong began its life as planned DLC for the original game. However, its scope grew. Since then, we’ve seen hints of it at events and teases of images. However, there’s been no solid signs of a release until 2025. During Opening Night Live on August 19, 2025, Geoff Keighley did bring it up and showed a brief gameplay snippet, but that was it.
You can see the full YouTube video here. The trailer establishes that Hornet is heading upward to the peak of the kingdom.” It also noted there are 200 kinds of enemies.
We’ve seen so many hints that a release date for the game was upon us. SteamDB showed changes made to the product page on Valve’s storefront. The ACMI Game Worlds museum announced it would be playable there at an exhibit starting on September 18, 2025. We learned it would be playable at Gamescom between August 20-24, 2025. The Nendoroids of the Knight and Hornet are coming back, though those two figures won’t be back again until 2026.
Hollow Knight: Silksong will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC, and the release date is September 4, 2025.
