The first time Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced was in February 2019. In the middle of the Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2, a release window was casually mentioned.
When will Hollow Knight: Silksong be released? The title was shown for only a few seconds, but it carries very important information. Hollow Knight: Silksong is set to be released in 2025. The game will then come to the Nintendo Switch 2. So by December 31, 2025, the title will finally hit the market.
It is known that Hollow Knight: Silksong will also be available for the first Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Presumably, the release window also applies to these consoles. However, confirmation is still pending.
Why is the release so highly anticipated? The release caused quite a stir in the Nintendo Direct chat. Players have been waiting for the title to appear since its announcement in February 2019.
Additionally, the predecessor received above-average ratings. Hollow Knight is rated 90 out of 100 points on Metacritic. It is therefore quite likely that the sequel will also be a major hit.
What is Silksong? Silksong is, like its predecessor, a 2D Metroidvania with jump’n’run and combat elements. There is a new protagonist named Hornet, who is more agile than her predecessor. She lands in the unknown kingdom of Pharloom. There, she must reach the top of a glowing citadel.
It is once again possible to craft powerful tools and complete exciting quests. You will need to hunt rare monsters or solve ancient mysteries.
There are new enemies, over 150 in total, and an additional mode where permanent death is ever-present. Even during the Xbox Direct, the title was the highlight: The most popular trailer of the Xbox show has nothing to do with Diablo 4 or Starfield
