It may seem like it’s never going to arrive, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is still on the way, and it still has a release date window (although we’ll concede that we’ve heard that one before).
The game has been plagued by delay after delay, and after initially being slated to release in 2023, news about the game has since been few and far between.
But we’ve still got our hopes up that the game might be on the way soon, so if you’re interested in when the current Hollow Knight: Silksong release date window is, read on!
When is the Hollow Knight: Silksong release date?
Following years of delays, Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently scheduled to release at some point in 2025.
Since its initial reveal, Silksong has been pushed back enough times that it’s become somewhat of a joke online to make references to the lack of news about it.
The game has received several launch windows, with each and every one of them being pushed back so far, resulting in some rather embarassing moments such as when the Xbox Twitter account confidently claimed that the game would be out by mid-2023.
That's exactly what we said.

But despite these jokes, developer Team Cherry has repeatedly reassured fans that they are “hard at work” on the title.
And this release date window was confirmed with the game being featured in a recent Nintendo Direct sizzle reel that confirmed that it will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 which releases later this year, alongside a 2025 release date.
Can you pre-order Hollow Knight: Silksong?
Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently not available to pre-order on any platform.
Previously, before the game’s now-many delays, the game had been available to pre-order in the UK via GAME.
Unfortunately, this was later retracted with buyers receiving refunds, and since then, there has been no sign of the game becoming available to pre-order again.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4 – a healthy line-up.
For Xbox players, it will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one, whenever that may be.
Whether it comes to PlayStation Plus at some point as well remains to be seen, but for the moment, PlayStation players will have to purchase the game if they want to play it on release.
Hollow Knight: Silksong gameplay and story details
The sequel puts players in control of Hornet, a popular needle-wielding character from the first game. Naturally, she employs a host of new skills as she traverses Hollow Knight’s crumbling insectoid world.
We’re promised a visit to a whole new kingdom where you can explore coral forests, mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors as you ascend to the shining citadel at the top of the world.
You’ll be able to employ new moves and craft new tools to help you battle buggy baddies. Quests will allow you to hunt down rare beasts and unearth ancient mysteries, battling a slew of new opponents all with their own abilities.
And if you conquer the whole thing, Team Cherry is adding an all-new mode that spins the game into a unique, challenging experience.
