"It's mildly shocking that Hollow Knight was just $15 when it came to PC back in 2017. It's even more surprising that eight years and over a million Steam wishlists later, the sequel is only $5 more. Team Cherry has confirmed Silksong's final price and launch times cementing this upcoming week as the official kick-off of the 2025 fall video game release blitz."
"While most games have gone up $10 or more in the jump to the current console generation, Hollow Knight: Silksong is aggressively going against the grain with just a $20 price tag on Steam and elsewhere. Team Cherry only officially confirmed the amount on Sunday night after a weekend of speculation following leaks on GameSpot and elsewhere."
"The move has won Team Cherry tons of additional good will with fans who were already praising it for withholding review copies so that Kickstarter backers would still be among the first to get access to the game. Plenty of players commenting on the latest pricing announcement still can't understand why the game isn't more."
Hollow Knight: Silksong will launch with a $20 price on Steam and other platforms, only $5 more than the original PC price of $15 in 2017. Team Cherry confirmed the final price and launch times ahead of the 2025 fall release season. The low price bucks an industry trend of $10+ increases during console generation shifts and has generated significant goodwill. The studio withheld review copies so Kickstarter backers could get early access. The original Hollow Knight sold 15 million copies, giving Team Cherry flexibility to prioritize broad accessibility with the sequel's pricing.
