Hollow Knight Silksong has been given a release date during a special live stream by developer Team Cherry.
The sequel to 2017’s Hollow Knight was announced back in 2019. The game would be MIA for many years, before re-emerging during various presentations earlier this year. While many fans believed the Hollow Knight Silksong release date would be announced during the Gamescom Opening Night Live event, Team Cherry instead decided to hold a dedicated stream earlier today (August 21).
Needless to say, the presentation included the news fans had been waiting for, as Hollow Knight Silksong was given a September 4 release date.
This means that Hollow Knight Silksong will be released in just two weeks time for PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch.
It’s particularly good news for Xbox owners, because Hollow Knight Silksong will be available as a day-one release for Game Pass.
In addition to announcing the release date, the latest Hollow Knight trailer showcased some of the features coming to the game.
The trailer highlights the game’s vast hand-crafted world, even showing off the huge map players will be able to explore.
Likewise, Hollow Knight Silksong will feature over 200 enemies for players to battle, as well as over 40 different boss encounters.
Players also caught a glimpse of some of the lead character’s abilities and items, including the Sting Shard, Magma Bell and Crafting Kit.

The Hollow Knight sequel takes place in a new land, and will feature a ton of new powers and abilities.
“Play as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song!” reads the official description.
“Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.”
