Overview

• Team Cherry confirmed Hollow Knight: Silksong will release on September 4, 2025 after a prolonged development period.
• At least eight projects postponed specifically due to Silksong’s timing, including Aeterna Lucis, CloverPit (now September 26), Demonschool (now November 19), Little Witch in the Woods (now September 15), Baby Steps, Stomp and the Sword of Miracles, Faeland, and Megabonk.
• Studios cited overshadowing as the reason for shifting, with Panik Arcade calling Silksong the most anticipated and most wishlisted game on Steam and Frogteam pausing a planned demo and Kickstarter.
• The original Hollow Knight set a new all‑time concurrent player record on Steam, peaking at 52,208 players according to SteamDB.
• Retailers are capitalizing on renewed interest, with Humble Bundle offering Hollow Knight at 50% off through August 31, 2025.
