    Cliff Notes – When does Hollow Knight: Silksong come out? Release date, time and cost

    • Release Date and Time: Hollow Knight: Silksong launches on 4th September 2025, at 3pm BST in the UK, with simultaneous worldwide availability across multiple platforms.

    • Pricing Information: The game is priced at €19.99 in Europe, with a UK price expected to be around £19.99, though a prior leak suggested £16.99.

    • Standalone Sequel: Originally developed as DLC for Hollow Knight, Silksong has evolved into a standalone game, allowing new players to start without prior knowledge of the original.

    It’s finally here (Team Cherry)

    The highly-anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight launches this week, so here’s all the information you need between its price and release time.

    Whether you’re a fan of Hollow Knight or not, its sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to be one of the defining games of 2025.

    The Metroidvania sequel, developed by Team Cherry, has become one of the most highly-anticipated indie games ever thanks to several factors; specifically Hollow Knight’s gradual rise in popularity since it launched in 2017, with 15 million copies sold, and the unusually lengthy six-year wait since Silksong was originally announced in February 2019.

    Whether Hollow Knight: Silksong will live up to this anticipation is another question which will be answered after launch (no review copies are being sent out in advance), but for now, we can provide a comprehensive guide on all the details around its release.

    What is the release date and time for Hollow Knight: Silksong?

    Hollow Knight: Silksong launches worldwide on Thursday, September 4, across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Mac.

    While most games typically launch at midnight, developer Team Cherry is rolling out the sequel at the same time around the world. In the UK, the game will land at 3pm BST, which translates to 4pm CEST in Europe and 7am PT in the US.

    Expert, exclusive gaming analysis

    What is the price for Hollow Knight: Silksong and is it free?

    Team Cherry has confirmed the game will cost €19.99 in Europe. A UK price is yet to be announced, but it’s similarly expected to be around £19.99 (although a prior leak did suggest £16.99). This page will be updated when the price is confirmed.

    Is it a brand new game or DLC?

    While it began development as DLC for the original Hollow Knight, Silksong has been expanded into a standalone sequel. In other words, you can jump into Silksong without purchasing the original Hollow Knight.

    Will Hollow Knight: Silksong be on Xbox Game Pass?

    Yes, anyone who has subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (across cloud, console, and PC) will be able to play Hollow Knight: Silksong at launch on September 4 at no extra charge.

    Do I need to play Hollow Knight before Silksong?

    While you might want to try out Hollow Knight first to get a grasp on the combat mechanics and open-ended Metroidvania structure, you can jump into Silksong without any problems.

    Silksong is pitched as a sequel to Hollow Knight but it features a new playable protagonist in Hornet, the former princess of Hallownest. Hornet debuted as a supporting character in the original game, so there might be some connecting story threads you’ll miss out on, but otherwise this is largely designed as a secondary entry-point.
