Hollow Knight: Silksong has a release date of September 4. You heard right,
people. This is not a drill. One more time for those in the back, Hollow
Knight: Silksong is now scheduled to be available in just a few weeks. The
news dropped as part of a "special announcement" YouTube stream, and it'll be
playable at Gamescom. For those of you at the event in Cologne, the game will
be availabe at both Nintendo and Xbox's booths. Expect very, very long lines.

The original Hollow Knight game was a huge debut hit for indie studio Team
Cherry in 2017, and the popularity of the moody metroidvania has created
quite the fervor around the DLC-turned-full-sequel. The project was delayed
in 2023 and fans have been hoping for a Silksong launch announcement at just
about every major gaming event since.

The development process has taken a long enough time for Silksong's existence
to become a bit of a gaming meme. There were trustworthy-sounding claims from
a Nintendo Direct in April that the title would launch this year, which gave
fresh hope (and fresh patience) to the punishing platformer's players. Even
with a launch date now provided, though, there's always the chance for it to
be postponed again. So let's keep the mood at "cautiously optimistic." Just
in case.
