Silksong’s Sudden Sept. 4 Launch Rewrites September’s Game Lineup

The long-awaited Team Cherry sequel has seized early-month attention, prompting some publishers to steer clear of its window.

Overview

  • Team Cherry set Hollow Knight: Silksong for September 4 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms, with day-one availability on Game Pass.
  • Hornet takes the lead in a new metroidvania world that emphasizes vertical exploration, high mobility, and a distinct combat style.
  • Early September also features Hell is Us on September 4 plus Cronos: The New Dawn and NBA 2K26 on September 5, with the basketball series touting tighter ball physics, refreshed animations, and smarter AI.
  • Multiple outlets report developers have shifted some release dates to avoid competing directly with Silksong’s launch.
  • Later in the month, Borderlands 4 arrives September 12, Silent Hill f lands September 25, and EA Sports FC 26 launches September 26 with Competitive and Authentic modes plus new low-vision visual aids usable in competitive play, as Hotel Barcelona also debuts September 26.
