The long-awaited sequel Silksong to the indie favorite Hollow Knight may have revealed one of its most important details. A premature retailer listing, which has since been removed, indicates that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be priced at $19.99. While this information is not officially confirmed by developer Team Cherry, its sudden appearance on a major retail site has sparked speculation in the gaming community.
The listing was specifically for the Nintendo Switch version of the game and was noticed by members of the gaming press and fans before it was taken down. The suggested price matches the original game’s value, which launched at $15. Given the size and ambition of Silksong, a five-dollar increase seems reasonable. The new game is expected to offer a world twice the size of the original, with over 200 new enemy types, more than 40 bosses, and nearly 100 new benches for players to rest at. This significant content makes the $19.99 price tag appealing for both fans and newcomers.
The journey to Silksong began as an ambitious DLC expansion for the first game, a concept so grand that it eventually turned into a full sequel. This history offers a special benefit for the game’s earliest supporters. The 2,158 backers of the original Hollow Knight Kickstarter campaign in 2014 will receive Silksong at no extra cost, a generous offer from Team Cherry that honors their foundational support.
While the gaming world waits for an official announcement from Team Cherry about the release date and pricing, this recent leak gives a tempting look at what may be one of the most anticipated titles of the decade. The potential for a large, feature-rich experience at a budget-friendly price strengthens Silksong’s promise as a significant title.
