Hollow Knight: Silksong Price and Release Date Confirmed by Team Cherry Ahead of September Launch

Team Cherry, the acclaimed Australian indie developer behind the hit metroidvania Hollow Knight, has officially announced the pricing and release date for its long-awaited sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Set to launch globally on September 4th, 2025, Silksong will be available across a wide array of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Official Price Confirmation for Hollow Knight: Silksong After months of anticipation and multiple unconfirmed reports, Team Cherry provided clear confirmation of Hollow Knight: Silksong's retail price via its official social media channels on September 1st, 2025.

The developer revealed that the game will launch at a competitive price point of $19.99 / €19.99 / ¥2300, positioning it below many fans’ expectations and industry standards for premium indie games.

While the UK price has not been formally stated, currency conversion suggests a likely price of £19.99 at launch. This official statement comes after a series of leaks, including a now-removed Gamestop listing and details shared by known Dealabs leaker Billbil-Kun.

These leaks hinted that the game would retail for under $20 or £20.

Both the Steam and rival GOG storefronts also mirrored these pricing details, with estimates for the UK market as low as £16.75 on Steam. To put this in context, the original Hollow Knight is currently available on the Nintendo eShop for $15.00 / £10.99, so Silksong represents a modest increase relative to its anticipated content and scale.

Team Cherry’s commitment to value is notable within the indie gaming scene, especially as Silksong is expected to significantly expand upon the original’s beloved gameplay and world design. No Physical Release Confirmed Yet As of the time of writing, Team Cherry has not announced a physical edition for Hollow Knight: Silksong on any platform, including Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.

Historically, physical releases have followed significant digital launches, but the studio has made no promises regarding timeline or availability for collectors. Developer’s Vision and Future Content Team Cherry previously cited the ambitious scope and wealth of ideas powering Silksong’s development, sharing that the team could have continued expanding the game indefinitely.

Ultimately, they opted to focus on finalizing a polished and complete experience for launch.

While details on post-launch content remain limited, the developer has stated that plans for additional updates are already in consideration. Hollow Knight: Silksong’s multi-platform release ensures a broad audience will experience one of the most highly anticipated indie sequels in recent years.

As the September 4th, 2025 launch date approaches, players on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can look forward to exploring a new adventure crafted by Team Cherry’s passionate developers.
