In a new video that just premiered on YouTube, developer Team Cherry announced the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released on September 4, 2025 — just two weeks away.

Silksong" will be released Sept. 4 after seven years of development. The game is coming to multiple platforms.

Since Team Cherry first announced Silksong in Feb. 2019, waiting for the game has become a meme unto itself. Fans have characterised themselves as clowns for continuing to wait in the absence of any updates, as well as constantly getting excited then disappointed by rumours of news. Many have joked that Silksong will never actually arrive.
