Hollow Knight: Silksong Confirms $20 Price and Launch Times for September 4 Release

The long-awaited moment for many gaming enthusiasts is finally here: Hollow Knight Silksong has received its official pricing and launch details! Last week, speculation buzzed when Gamestop appeared to prematurely list the game’s price at $20, with some reports even mentioning a “Nintendo Switch 2” version. However, developer Team Cherry has now definitively confirmed the $20 price point for Silksong, alongside specific global launch times for its much-anticipated September 4 arrival across known platforms like Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. This official confirmation, as TechTalesLeo from Digital Tech Explorer observes, follows the initial retailer leak, bringing clarity and immense excitement to fans worldwide.

For players in key markets, the confirmed prices for Hollow Knight Silksong are:

  • USD: $19.99
  • EUR: €19.99
  • JPY: ¥2300

Further pricing information for other regions, including the UK, Australia, and Canada, is expected to be revealed closer to the launch date. This strategic pricing aligns Silksong with the original Hollow Knight, even when factoring in inflation. Despite the monumental anticipation that could easily justify a higher cost, Team Cherry has opted to maintain an accessible price point, a move sure to delight tech enthusiasts and developers alike. Adding to the excitement, the game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, opening it up to an even wider audience.

Mark your calendars! The official release times for Silksong on September 4 across various timezones are:

  • PT: 7am
  • ET: 10am
  • CEST: 4pm
  • BST: 3pm
  • JST: 11pm
  • AEST: 12am (Friday September 5)

As Digital Tech Explorer has keenly observed, the imminent arrival of Silksong feels almost surreal for countless fans and dedicated content creators after such a prolonged wait. This highly anticipated launch has already sent ripples through the gaming industry, prompting several other titles to adjust their release schedules to steer clear of the competition. Furthermore, the lead-up to the sequel has sparked a remarkable resurgence in the popularity of the original Hollow Knight, which has recently surpassed its all-time player peak on Steam. This enduring enthusiasm underscores the profound impact Team Cherry’s meticulous work has on the gaming landscape, inspiring both seasoned players and aspiring developers alike.
