Hollow Knight: Silksong release date rumours – Pre-order, trailer and latest news on the sequel

However, there’s a possibility that the much-anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong could arrive sooner rather than later. If you’d like to know more about the potential release date, keep reading!

When is the Hollow Knight: Silksong release date?

After facing several setbacks, it’s planned that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released sometime in the year 2025.

Ever since Silksong was first unveiled, there have been so many delays that people often jest about it online by making light of its scarcity in updates.

The game has been assigned multiple release dates, all of which have been delayed, causing a few awkward situations like when the Xbox Twitter announced its expected launch in mid-2023.

However, even with the humor, Developer Team Cherry continues to affirm their dedicated efforts on the project by stating they are “busy at it”.

This timeframe for the game’s release has been officially set, as evidenced by its appearance in a recent Nintendo Direct trailer. The game is slated to arrive on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, expected later this year, and it also has a 2025 launch date associated with it.

Can you pre-order Hollow Knight: Silksong?

Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently not available to pre-order on any platform.

Earlier, when the game wasn’t facing numerous delays yet, it was possible for UK residents to pre-order the game through GAME.

Regrettably, the initial announcement turned out to be premature, and those who had purchased it were given their money back. Since then, there hasn’t been any indication that the game can be pre-ordered once more.

Which consoles and platforms can play Hollow Knight: Silksong?

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable on Steam (for PC), Nintendo Switch, as well as the yet-to-be-released Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, and both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. That’s quite an impressive roster of platforms!

For Xbox players, it will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one, whenever that may be.

It’s uncertain if PlayStation Plus users will get access to the new game eventually, but currently, PlayStation gamers must buy the game to play it when it first comes out.

Hollow Knight: Silksong gameplay and story details

In the next installment, you’ll find yourself commanding Hornet, a beloved spiked-tool user from the initial game. Of course, she now possesses an array of fresh abilities to navigate through the decaying insect realm of Hollow Knight.

You’ll be treated to an expedition through a completely different realm, filled with coral jungles, damp caves lined with moss, golden metropolises, and mysterious highlands shrouded in mist, all leading up to a radiant fortress at the pinnacle of the universe.

With the new skills and devices at your disposal, you’ll have the chance to tackle pesky pests in creative ways. The quests offer opportunities for tracking elusive creatures and uncovering hidden secrets, each encounter introducing a fresh wave of enemies, each boasting unique skills.

If you manage to take over everything, Team Cherry will introduce a brand new gameplay mode that gives the game a fresh twist, making it more difficult and exciting!

Is there a Hollow Knight: Silksong trailer?

Back in 2019, I had the thrill of catching my first glimpse of this game through its unveiling trailer. It offered a tantalizing sneak peek into the gameplay and an array of fresh locales just waiting to be discovered.

Afterward, they unveiled a concise trailer for Game Pass, offering glimpses of additional gameplay.
