Hollow Knight Silksong has finally received a release date, as announced today by Team Cherry today along with a new trailer.

Silksong will be available on 4th September across Switch consoles, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, including on Xbox Game Pass.

News of today’s announcement was hinted at earlier this week at gamescom’s Opening Night Live, along with a fresh look at gameplay. More of that was shown in the new announcement video you can watch below:

Silksong is playable at the event too, though it’s the same demo that was shown back in 2019 – albeit in revised form. It’s proving to be a particularly popular game at the show.

Eurogamer’s Dom Peppiatt braved the queues to go hands-on with Silksong, and came away impressed with its high challenge and how Hornet’s movement differs from the original game’s Knight.

After seven years of development, finally Silksong is almost in our hands.
