Wondering what Hollow Knight: Silksong will cost you? $20 bucks, that’s not a joke!
Fans of the original Hollow Knight game have been eagerly waiting for the 2nd title ever since it was announced in 2019. A couple of weeks ago, Team Cherry finally revealed the launch date for Silksong, saying that the game will be released on the fourth of September 2025.
That didn’t necessarily calm down the game’s cult following, who were rejoicing the news about the much awaited sequel. One question that was raised among the community was how much the game would cost? This wasn’t really a concern because it is an Indie game, and hence was expected to be affordable.
Many fans were expecting the game to be priced somewhere between $25 to $40. Team Cherry has surprised everyone by announcing a much lower price than expected. Silksong has been priced at $19.99 in the United States, €19.99 in Europe, and ¥2300 in Japan. It’s unclear how much the game will cost in other regions, here is the listing on SteamDB, which will be updated in the coming days.
Hollow Knight sold 15 million copies worldwide. Of course, not all of them would have been sold at the full price, which was $15 BTW. Still, that is a lot of sales, very impressive for a small studio. There’s no reason why Silksong can’t achieve the same, or even break that record.
According to today’s announcement, Hollow Knight: Silksong will release on September 4 at 7:00AM Pacific Time (PT) | 10:00 AM Eastern Time (ET) | 4:00 PM Central European Summer Time (CEST) | 11:00 PM Japan Standard Time (JST).
The Hollow Knight community has been celebrating the pricing announcement, and can you blame them? It’s a rare win for gamers in these days, where game prices are reaching $80 or $90. Game console prices are being increased like crazy. Meanwhile, Team Cherry is not even doing preorders. It’s refreshing to see something positive for a change.
