Mark your calendars! Hollow Knight: Silksong is officially set to release on Thursday, September 4, 2025. The global launch occurs simultaneously, meaning that while most regions will see it on September 4th, players in Australia will find it available just after midnight on September 5th.

Is There a Pre-order or Preload for Silksong?

In line with Team Cherry’s approach, there are currently no pre-orders available for Silksong, nor will there be deluxe edition early access periods, which many publishers favor. A preload option is also not being offered. However, there’s no need to worry: Silksong boasts a modest file size of around 8GB. Provided you have a decent internet connection, you should be able to download and start playing almost immediately upon release.

The system requirements for Silksong are equally humble, ensuring that the game will run smoothly on most modern PCs. Furthermore, considering that the original Hollow Knight was a top-played game on Steam Deck, you can anticipate that Silksong will offer a fantastic portable gaming experience as well.
