The Hollow Knight Silksong release date could be revealed in mere days

Overview

  • Team Cherry scheduled a Silksong YouTube premiere titled “Special Announcement” for August 21 at 7:30am PT / 10:30am ET.
  • Hollow Knight: Silksong is publicly playable on the Gamescom show floor this week, with hands-on demos at multiple booths.
  • Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier says the release-date news will not appear during Gamescom Opening Night Live, pointing instead to Team Cherry’s presentation.
  • Current plans reported by outlets list a 2025 launch across Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, though an exact date has not been officially confirmed.
  • Speculation continues after Geoff Keighley’s clown-nose tease and a fan-spotted ‘Unknown’ DLC entry on GOG that resembles soundtrack listings, neither of which constitutes official release confirmation.
