Price details
Team Cherry announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong will cost $19.99. This is $5 more than the original Hollow Knight’s 2017 price, an increase the studio said is roughly in line with inflation. Moreover, the $20 price point was leaked last week via a GameStop listing.
Release time and platforms
The studio gave the exact launch time: Sep. 4 at 10 a.m. EDT / 7 a.m. PDT. However, because Team Cherry is based in Australia, the game actually reaches Australian players at 12 a.m. on Sep. 5. In addition, Team Cherry confirmed that Silksong will be available on day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Community reaction
Fans have largely reacted positively to the announced price, with many saying it represents good value for the new game. For example, one user wrote, “This is not enough to show my appreciation. I have to buy it twice,” in response to Team Cherry’s announcement on BlueSky.
That BlueSky announcement can be seen on Team Cherry’s post, and the quoted response is on the user’s BlueSky post.
Development note
Team Cherry addressed the long wait for Silksong by saying that development was ” never stuck ” and that the team were having too much fun making the game.
