This is it folks, the countdown has not only begun but it is about to finally, after nearly a decade of waiting, end – Hollow Knight: Sliksong will be live on all platforms this morning. Perhaps outside of whatever Nintendo eventually released for Switch 2, the most anticipated game of the year is about to go prime time and be available to download across just about any platform you could want it on.
It was a long hard road for die-hard fans of the first game, but Team Cherry decided it was going to take its time on this one and by all accounts thus far, it has paid off. And it won’t be long before you find out for yourself.
- Discover a whole new kingdom! Explore coral forests, mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors as you ascend to the shining citadel at the top of the world.
- Engage in lethal acrobatic action! Wield a whole new suite of nimble moves as you dance between foes in deadly, beautiful combat.
- Craft powerful tools! Master an ever-expanding arsenal of weapons, traps, and mechanisms to confound your enemies and explore new heights.
- Solve shocking quests! Hunt down rare beasts, unearth ancient mysteries and search for lost treasures to fulfil the wishes of the downtrodden and restore the kingdom’s hope. Prepare for the unexpected!
- Face over 150 all-new foes! Beasts and hunters, assassins and kings, monsters and knights – you must defeat them all with bravery and skill!
- Experience a stunning orchestral score! Hollow Knight’s award-winning composer, Christopher Larkin, returns to bring melancholy melodies, symphonic strings and heart-thumping, soul strumming boss themes to the adventure.
- Challenge Steel Soul mode! Once you conquer the game, test your skills in an all-new mode that spins the game into a unique, challenging experience.
Featuring over 200 enemies across a “vast interconnected world” made up of “gilded cities, lakes of fire, and misted moors,” gamers will finally uncover the mysteries of the fallen insect kingdom of Pharloom starting at 7 a.m. PT/10:00 a.m. ET today!
Release times:
7AM PT | 10AM ET | 4PM CEST | 11PM JST
Game price:
USD $19.99 | EUR €19.99 | JPY ¥2300
Team Cherry shocked everyone when it officially confirmed the game would launch at just $19.99 (it is also a day 1 Game Pass title) – it frankly could have charged double or more. But this is a team that has been doing it for the gamers ever since the beginning and even when it could have loaded the safes with even more Geo, it still decided to drop the biggest game of the season at the lowest price we could have even imagined, and this is all after the price of gaming just jumped up again on Switch 2.
Update: As part of an official press release, Nintendo has confirmed there will be a Hollow Knight: Silksong – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition as well as a Switch 1 edition, just like we all presumed.
Get your $20 piece ready (or your Game Pass subscription) as the countdown clocks to the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong on Steam and the PlayStation Store are set to lapse very soon, presumably alongside the eShop and elsewhere.
