Team Cherry Confirms Hollow Knight Silksong Release Date

Team Cherry fans have been waiting a long time for this moment to come. The long-awaited follow-up to the 2017 independent hit Hollow Knight, called Hollow Knight: Silksong, is about to come out. The game has been one of the most talked about and rumored about indie games for years, with fans carefully analyzing every trailer, tease, and rumor. After a long wait that lasted almost eight years since the first game came out, the official release date and times have been revealed.

Fans are more excited than ever. The amount of anticipation for this launch is what makes it stand out. Aside from big hits like Undertale and Stardew Valley, not many independent games have been able to build such a huge and dedicated fan base. Part of the reason for this is the original Hollow Knight, which became a modern classic very quickly thanks to its beautiful world-building, fun but difficult gameplay, and great value for money.

The other part is that Silksong has almost a mythical air about it because fans have been waiting for years with little information until lately. In just two weeks, Team Cherry finally broke their silence by announcing that Hollow Knight: Silksong would be out on September 4. This news set the gaming world on fire. Some independent makers even pushed back the releases of their own games because they didn’t want to be overshadowed by the huge amount of attention this game is getting.

Another important thing about this release is that other studios decided not to work on it. This shows how important the Hollow Knight series is to gaming culture as a whole. Adding to the excitement is the pricing decision. Silksong will retail for just $20, the same price as the original Hollow Knight back in 2017. Considering the game is set to be as large, if not larger, than its predecessor, the value proposition is remarkable.

In fact, when factoring in nearly a decade of inflation, this sequel arguably offers even more bang for your buck. For players who remember the endless hours of content in Hollow Knight, this pricing decision has been met with widespread praise. Many gamers have noted that in an era where AAA titles regularly push past $70, seeing a highly ambitious indie game priced so modestly feels refreshing. The release itself is being handled as a global simultaneous launch, meaning players across the world will dive in at roughly the same moment.

However, depending on your time zone, the date might differ slightly. For example, while the U.S. and Europe will be playing on September 4, those in Australia will officially begin just after midnight on September 5. To break it down, the release will hit the West Coast of the U.S. at 7 am PT, the East Coast at 10 am ET, the UK at 3 pm BST, central Europe at 4 pm CEST, Japan at 11 pm JST, and East Coast Australia at midnight AEST as the calendar flips to September 5.

This method makes sure that no area gets the game much earlier than others. This keeps the community on the same page from the start and prevents spoilers. We are only a few days away from the start of Hollow Knight, and the community is already very excited and full of theories. Players are already talking about possible speedrun routes, story links, and ways to get better at controlling Hornet, the new main character.

Everyone is curious about whether Silksong will live up to the high standards set by its predecessor. People think this will not only meet standards but also go above and beyond them because Team Cherry has a great name and their past work is so good. No matter what, the wait is over. On September 4, gamers all over the world will be able to play the next part of this famous indie saga.
