Hollow Knight: Silksong Price Leaks

It seems that the upcoming game “Hollow Knight: Silksong” will cost $19.99, based on a retailer listing that appears to have been leaked early. This price is said to be consistent across all editions of “Hollow Knight: Silksong”.

After more than five years of progress, Hollow Knight: Silksong finally got a release date at Gamescom 2025, with Team Cherry announcing plans to launch it on September 4. Yet, Team Cherry remains silent regarding the game’s pricing details.

Premature GameStop Listing Reveals $19.99 Price for Hollow Knight: Silksong

Even though there’s been no official word, a GameStop listing might have inadvertently unveiled the game price. Reddit user E1338 pointed out that GameStop is taking pre-orders for Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch at $19.99.

It appears that while Hollow Knight: Silksong was initially planned for the upcoming Switch 2, the version currently available for pre-order at GameStop is compatible with the original Switch console. At this time, only this variation of the highly anticipated game is listed on GameStop’s website, suggesting that the page might have been published ahead of schedule. The suggested retail price of $19.99 seems plausible as it positions Silksong $5 higher than its predecessor. If accurate, this pricing likely applies to all editions of the game.

For approximately $20, it’s likely that “Hollow Knight: Silksong” will provide a lot of bang for your buck. As confirmed by Team Cherry, the game boasts over 200 new foes, more than 40 bosses, and roughly 100 resting spots. This hints that the sequel’s map might be around double the size of the original one, if we consider a similar frequency of checkpoints. This estimate aligns with Team Cherry’s previous prediction that the upcoming game could easily take over 100 hours to fully master, while the original “Hollow Knight” typically took around 65 hours on average to complete comprehensively. Notably, one area, Greymoor, is said to be one of the largest singular environments that Team Cherry has ever developed.

Hollow Knight Kickstarter Backers Are Getting Silksong at No Extra Cost

2014 saw 2,158 supporters of the initial Hollow Knight Kickstarter pledge contribute towards the project’s success. In recognition of their early backing, these individuals will be offered a free copy of Hollow Knight: Silksong when it launches. This perk was initially established as an additional bonus in the form of DLC for reaching certain stretch goals during the original Kickstarter campaign. With the unprecedented success of Hollow Knight, independent studio Team Cherry enjoyed long-term financial stability, enabling them to transform the concept into a full sequel. The team has stated that fulfilling this Kickstarter promise is the primary reason why Hollow Knight: Silksong will not feature reviews at launch, ensuring that those who backed it initially have an opportunity to play the game before anyone else.
