Hollow Knight: Silksong will be sold for only $19.99 — a bold move that’s already shaking the indie world.

Just a few days before its release (September 4, 2025), the studio Team Cherry has finally revealed the price of Hollow Knight: Silksong. A decision as appealing as it is bold, especially in a context where game prices keep skyrocketing.

Ultra-aggressive price for a prestigious indie

The studio confirmed an official price of €19.99 in Europe, a slight increase compared to the original game’s $14.99, but still extremely reasonable when factoring in inflation.

• 7 AM PT (Pacific)
• 10 AM ET (U.S. Eastern)
• 4 PM CEST (Central European Summer Time)
• 11 PM JST (Japan)

A smart strategy, but a risk for other indies

This very aggressive pricing strategy is a breath of fresh air for players, but it could become a real burden for indie studios whose releases coincide with Silksong.

Conclusion

Hollow Knight: Silksong looks set to be THE indie hit regardless of genre, while other developers may be forced to rethink their strategies to avoid being overshadowed.
