Hollow Knight Silksong release date set for 4 September, part of Xbox Game Pass

It's finally happened.

Hollow Knight Silksong FINALLY has a release date, and it’s soon! We’ll be able to play from 4 September, Team Cherry today announced.

It’s been a long time coming, too — Silksong was first announced back in February 2019.

“Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, finds herself alone in a vast, unfamiliar world,” reads Team Cherry’s description of the title. “She must battle foes, seek out allies, and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.”

“Bound by her lineage and guided by echoes of her past, Hornet will adventure through mossy grottos, coral forests and shining citadels to unravel a deadly thread that threatens this strange new land.”

A special new release trailer for the title is above.

Players can expect Hollow Knight Silksong from 4 September on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle, alongside Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, Switch, and Switch 2. The title is also part of Xbox Game Pass.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
