2025 Release Confirmed - Specific Date Coming Soon

After years of anticipation, theories, and countless memes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has secured an official 2025 release window. Team Cherry's sequel will launch on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The announcement kicked off Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, where Geoff Keighley debuted brand new gameplay footage. While the presentation didn't confirm an exact date, Team Cherry will reveal this during their own livestream on August 21, 2025.

The Waiting Game Finally Ends

For fans, this announcement marks the end of one of gaming's longest-running anticipation cycles. Since its initial reveal in 2019, Silksong has spawned numerous rumors, speculation, and good-natured internet jokes about its elusive release schedule. Every major gaming event seemed possible for its return, yet left enthusiasts waiting longer.

Recent teases included a surprising mention during Summer Game Fest 2025's Deadpool VR premiere, while the game was notably absent from the latest Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase before appearing briefly in April 2025. Most significantly, new gameplay was shown during June's Xbox Games Showcase on the newly announced Xbox ROG Ally.

Now the waiting is over - Silksong is not only confirmed but playable. Attendees at Gamescom 2025 can experience the demo at both the Nintendo and Xbox booths. Stay updated with all Hollow Knight: Silksong news by checking our coverage below!
