In today’s “special announcement” video, Team Cherry confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally release on 4th September 2025. That means the game is now exactly two weeks away, and you can catch a new trailer above. There’ll be both PS5 and PS4 versions available.
“As the lethal hunter Hornet, explore an ancient kingdom of insects haunted by silk and song,” is the setup for the follow-up.” Captured and brought to this unfamiliar land, you must battle foes and solve mysteries as you ascend on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.”
In a development deep dive article with Bloomberg, developer Team Cherry speaks to why it’s taken so long for the sequel to come out: “It was never stuck or anything. It was always progressing. It’s just the case that we’re a small team, and games take a lot of time. There wasn’t any big, controversial moment behind it. We’re very fortunate that we have a development method that is so enjoyable.”
