Hollow Knight: Silksong Drops on September 4th – Just $20

In a news drop that’s electrified the gaming scene, indie developer Team Cherry has officially set a release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Mark your calendars for September 4th and prepare your wallets for a friendly $20 pinch. This comes on the heels of an accidental leak thanks to the folks at GameStop, who unearthed the price tag during their pre-launch maneuvers. The announcement raises the pulse of fans who’ve been eagerly eyeing every breadcrumb since the original Hollow Knight enchanted players worldwide.

Zooming In

Hollow Knight, which launched way back in 2017, didn’t just hop onto the indie scene-it crash-landed, leaving a significant crater with its breathtaking hand-drawn style, gripping soundtrack, and challenging gameplay. With over 3 million copies sold, expectations are sky-high for Silksong. Originally slated as extra content for Hollow Knight, Silksong has morphed into its universe, reflecting Team Cherry’s passion for crafting a game experience worth your time (and money).

Crunching the Numbers

The stated $20 price tag mirrors that of its forebear, considering economic tides. It’s a move that’s leaving fans nodding in approval. Initially, this figure covers buyers in the U.S., EU, and Japan; other regions like the UK, Australia, and Canada will hear specifics as the launch date approaches. For the money-minded gaming globetrotters, here’s how it shakes out elsewhere:

  • USD: $19.99
  • EUR: €19.99
  • JPY: ¥2300

The price makes Silksong inviting to a broad audience without sacrificing the rich gameplay experience Team Cherry is known for.
