Code red, code red! This is not a drill! We repeat: this is not a drill! Hollow Knight: Silksong finally, finally has a release date. September 4, 2025 is the day!
That would actually be all for our news. But that wouldn’t do justice to the occasion. So we’re going to type away a little more and give you all the info about the release and the reactions of the fans who have been waiting six long years for this day.
Silksong release on Steam and GOG
