What is the Hollow Knight Silksong release time? Price and countdown to the major indie game drop

The release of Hollow Knight: Silksong is just around the corner, but with no pre-order information available, gamers are left wondering about the cost.

Fear not, it's finally happening. The announcement of Hollow Knight: Silksong's release date was a thrilling moment for the gaming world. The fact that it's just around the corner has created an unprecedented level of excitement.

Naturally, this has had a ripple effect – Peak's playful Silksong message to players acknowledging that the game will lose a chunk of its launch audience and several games like Bennett Foddy's Baby Steps postponing their release dates to make way for this behemoth (via Polygon) have ensured that this launch will be one of the most significant of the year. However, there are still details that many players need to know – particularly as it seems the game won't be offering pre-orders.

So, what else is there to know about this massive game launch? Here's the lowdown on the Hollow Knight: Silksong release time and schedule.

Despite the launch time being revealed, the game isn't offering players the chance to pre-order Hollow Knight: Silksong at this moment. It seems unlikely that Team Cherry will offer this opportunity now, so it appears you'll have to splash out the moment the title goes live on your preferred online shop.

Hollow Knight Silksong price

The price for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been directly disclosed by Team Cherry as $19.99 USD | €19.99 EUR | ¥2300 JPY. As for the cost in the UK, we can expect the game to be priced at £15.99 GBP, as these prices across regions are $5 and €5 more each than the original RRP of the first Hollow Knight game.

This is an incredibly reasonable price, particularly as AAA games continue to dig deeper into players' pockets, and with the game predicted to be larger than its predecessor. Hollow Knight: Silksong is anticipated to be a standout Metroidvania game, and if it delivers on this promise, then it'll be worth the price tenfold.

That's all the information you need about Hollow Knight: Silksong before its official release, with numerous secrets hidden within its labyrinthine world. Don't ring when it drops. We won't be picking up.
