Hollow Knight: Silksong, the full sequel to Hollow Knight that has been in development for years, will be released on September 4th. The news was revealed as part of a “special announcement” video that debuted on Thursday.
In Silksong, you play as Hornet, a character that appeared in the original Hollow Knight. The game features a new kingdom with new areas to explore and more than 150 new enemies to fight, according to its Steam page. Silksong will be released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Silksong, the most wishlisted game on Steam, was originally announced by Team Cherry in 2019. A June 2022 Xbox event indicated that Silksong would be out within 12 months of that show, but near the end of that timeframe, the game was delayed. However, Nintendo’s big Switch 2 reveal Direct in April included a vague release window of sometime in 2025, so the more specific date is welcome news.
The game has also been playable at Gamescom at the Xbox and Nintendo booths.
