DaRmaZat Team Cherry has announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong will release on September 4 for PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X|S, Nintendo Switch & Switch 2, and PC via Steam, GOG, Humble Store, and Microsoft Store. The highly anticipated sequel will also be available through Game Pass.
In this continuation of the award-winning Hollow Knight, players take on the role of Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, who finds herself captured and transported to an unfamiliar land. To survive, she must fight deadly foes and uncover secrets while embarking on a perilous pilgrimage toward the kingdom’s shining citadel.
Silksong expands the universe with an entirely new kingdom to explore, ranging from coral forests and mossy caverns to gilded cities and misty moors. Combat focuses on Hornet’s agility and precision, with a fresh set of acrobatic moves and an arsenal of tools that players can craft to face more than 150 new enemies. Along the way, quests, mysteries, and encounters with allies and adversaries shape a story deeply tied to Hornet’s past.
The journey is scored by returning composer Christopher Larkin, whose orchestral soundtrack blends haunting themes with intense battle pieces. For those seeking further challenge, the game also features Silk Soul mode, a new experience designed to test mastery after the main adventure is complete.
