Since Team Cherry first announced Silksong in Feb. 2019, waiting for the game has become a meme unto itself. Fans have characterised themselves as clowns for continuing to wait in the absence of any updates, as well as constantly getting excited then disappointed by rumours of news. Many have joked that Silksong will never actually arrive.

In an interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen revealed that downloadable content is already in development and that they plan to support the game for years to come.

In a new video that just premiered on YouTube, developer Team Cherry announced the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released on September 4, 2025 — just two weeks away.
