Hollow Knight : Silksong – Prix et date de sortie mondiale dévoilées

Hollow Knight: Silksong – Official Price, Release Date, and First Impressions

The wait is nearly over. Hollow Knight: Silksong—the long-anticipated sequel to the cult classic indie masterpiece—has officially confirmed its release date and pricing, sending shockwaves through the gaming community.

🎮 Confirmed Price: $19.99 / €19.99 / ¥2,300

Team Cherry has officially announced that Silksong will launch at $19.99 in the U.S., €19.99 in Europe, and ¥2,300 in Japan. This modest price point stands in stark contrast to the industry’s recent trend of premium pricing—especially after Xbox’s controversial $80 pre-order push for The Outer Worlds 2, which was quickly reverted to $70 amid fan backlash.

Silksong’s affordable tag reflects Team Cherry’s commitment to accessibility and respect for their fanbase, reinforcing the studio’s legacy of delivering rich, challenging experiences at a fair cost.

📅 Release Date: September 4, 2025

The announcement was made live at gamescom 2025, where Team Cherry unveiled a nearly two-minute cinematic trailer showcasing breathtaking new footage of Hornet’s journey through a hauntingly beautiful, insect-ruled world.

• 7:00 AM PT (Pacific Time)
• 10:00 AM ET (Eastern Time)
• 4:00 PM CEST (Central European Summer Time)
• 11:00 PM JST (Japan Standard Time)

The game will be available across PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, ensuring broad access for fans worldwide.

🌿 New Gameplay & World Revealed

The trailer revealed a lush, melancholic world teeming with life and mystery:

• New Protagonist: Hornet, a sleek, agile warrior with her own unique abilities, including venom-based attacks and aerial combat.
• Diverse Environments: From the eerie, mist-wrapped Moss Grotto and decaying Graveyards of the Forgotten to the chaotic, bustling city of The Drowned Bazaar, the world feels both alien and familiar.
• New NPCs: Insectoid creatures with their own cultures, languages, and stories—many hinting at deeper lore.
• Fierce Enemies & Bosses: Including a colossal, clockwork spider and a shadowy entity known only as "The Weaver."
• Ori-esque Escape Sequence: One standout moment features Hornet scaling crumbling ruins while dodging collapsing platforms—a breathtaking sequence reminiscent of Ori and the Blind Forest.

🎯 Hands-On Preview: Is It Worth the Hype?

We tested two levels from the demo at gamescom 2025:

• Moss Grotto (Easy): A peaceful, atmospheric level perfect for easing into the new mechanics. Great for newcomers, but still packed with environmental puzzles and subtle danger.
• Deep Docks (Hard): A brutal, vertical gauntlet through flooded tunnels and collapsing bridges. The combat is tighter, more responsive, and demands precision—a true test of skill.

Verdict: Silksong delivers on its promise of being a spiritual successor to Hollow Knight, with even more refined platforming, deeper lore, and a hauntingly beautiful world. The combat feels evolved, the music is instantly iconic, and the emotional weight of the story is palpable.

With Silksong now the most wishlisted game on Steam, and pre-orders already surging, it’s clear: the world is ready.
