Description

Team Cherry’s highly anticipated metroidvania sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, is set to finally launch on September 4th, 2025.

The much-awaited follow-up to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight is arriving after several years of speculation, development updates, and community anticipation.

The game will be available across a broad array of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, the forthcoming Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via popular storefronts like Steam and GOG. One of the key questions for fans has been the cost of entry.

While Team Cherry has not provided an official price announcement, recent developments have offered strong indications.

A now-removed GameStop page suggested a $20 retail price in the United States.

Fans initially thought this might have been a placeholder, but prominent Dealabs leaker Billbil-Kun later supported these amounts, revealing that the Steam and GOG versions will also align with this pricing model.

According to Billbil-Kun’s findings, Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch for $19.99 in the US and potentially as low as £16.75 in the UK on Steam, solidifying its status as an affordable indie release. For comparison, the original Hollow Knight currently sells for $15.00 / £10.99 on the Nintendo eShop, ensuring Silksong remains competitively priced relative to its predecessor and within reach for its dedicated fan base.

Although official pricing for Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Switch 2 has not yet been revealed, these figures provide a strong benchmark for what players can expect upon launch. At launch, Silksong will be offered as a digital title across all confirmed platforms.

As of this announcement, there are no plans for a physical edition, though it is common in the indie space for boxed versions to emerge post-release.

Team Cherry has addressed fans’ concerns about value and content, stating that ideas for Silksong have accumulated over time, but the studio ultimately prioritized completing the core game.

Additionally, the developer has expressed ambitious plans for substantial post-launch content updates. Hollow Knight: Silksong’s release on September 4th, 2025, marks a pivotal moment for fans of the metroidvania genre and the broader gaming community.

With its multi-platform launch, accessible price point, and Team Cherry’s proven track record, Silksong is poised to reach both new players and longtime enthusiasts when it debuts on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
