Hollow Knight: Silksong launch price officially confirmed

After more than half a decade of hype, excitement and anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally almost upon us. With the sequel set to launch in just a few days time, Team Cherry have now officially confirmed Silksong’s price and exact launch times.

Making the announcement on BlueSky, studio Team Cherry officially confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will cost just $19.99 (19.99 Euros) when it launches on the 4th of September.

Speaking of launch, for those wanting to get in on the game as soon as possible, Team Cherry has now confirmed that Silksong will unlock for all at 4PM CEST (3PM UK time).

Interestingly, the game is unavailable for pre-order, and according to the studio, Silksong will not be pre-orderable – meaning you’ll have to wait until launch to pick the sequel up (assuming you hadn’t backed it on Kickstarter).

Given how it's been 8 years since the launch of the original Hollow Knight, it is both surprising and welcome to see the price for Silksong remain highly affordable – especially as Team Cherry could easily have charged double the amount with little impact on initial sales.

In case you missed it, the original Hollow Knight recently surpassed its previous peak player count on Steam, more than doubling its figure to 45K CCU. Since then, even more fans have returned to the title in anticipation, with Hollow Knight now having peaked at over 71,000 concurrents.

With the original Hollow Knight being bigger than ever, and Silksong set to launch for a consumer friendly price, it’s safe to say that the upcoming sequel is set to have a massive launch come the 4th of September.
