Team Cherry has resurfaced with the highly anticipated release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong—mark your calendars for September 4, 2025.
The announcement came via a nearly two-minute trailer showcasing extensive new gameplay. The footage revealed Hornet traversing diverse environments, including haunting graveyards, misty swamps, and a lively metropolis. Players can expect over 200 new enemy types, 40+ formidable bosses, and even a thrilling escape sequence reminiscent of Ori.
The Long Wait Ends
Originally revealed in 2019, the sequel's launch date arrives more than six years after its initial announcement. What began as a Nintendo Switch and PC exclusive eventually expanded to Xbox (including Game Pass) and PlayStation consoles.
A Gradual Comeback
After prolonged silence, Team Cherry slowly rebuilt momentum. The 2022 Xbox Bethesda Showcase featured a re-reveal trailer with a vague "within 12 months" window—though the studio itself remained quiet, fueling speculation.
Community Hype Peaks
Recent weeks saw excitement skyrocket when playable demos appeared at Gamescom, followed by Geoff Keighley's tantalizing preview during Opening Night Live. The passionate fanbase turned the endless wait into an ongoing meme—from dissecting chocolate cake recipes to humorously "donning clown makeup" with every new showcase.
Congratulations to the Silksong faithful—the long-awaited sequel is officially Silksoon.
