A few days are left before the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong, but the game arouses so much interest that we are sure many people will be interested to watch 20 minutes of gameplay of the long-awaited novelty from Team Cherry.

Here's What We Know

IGN portal published two interesting gameplay videos of Hollow Knight: Silksong, which were filmed at gamescom 2025.

Unfortunately, both videos were recorded without game sound, so IGN accompanied them with relaxing music.

The first video shows the opening splash screen and the first 10 minutes of Silksong's progression, in which the protagonist faces several enemies and the first boss.

The second clip shows the exploration of the later Deep Docks location and allows you to appreciate some of Hornet's abilities.

Overall, the game on a basic level is almost the same as the first part, but it looks even more enjoyable, and the gameplay dynamics are a bit higher.

When We Can Expect It

Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released on September 4 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and both generations of Nintendo Switch, with the game immediately available in the Game Pass catalogue
