The highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Metroidvania title, *Hollow Knight*, *Silksong*, is set to release on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Fans eager to dive into the game can now mark their calendars with the exact release times across various time zones.

For players in the United States, the game will unlock at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) and 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). This means those in the northern hemisphere can anticipate a morning launch.

The release times for other major time zones are as follows: 8:00 a.m. MDT, 9:00 a.m. CDT, 11:00 a.m. BRT, 4:00 p.m. CEST, 5:00 p.m. MSK, 6:00 p.m. GST, 7:30 p.m. IST, 10:00 p.m. CST, 11:00 p.m. JST, 12:00 a.m. AEST (Friday, September 5th), and 2:00 a.m. NZST (Friday, September 5th). Players are encouraged to use a time zone converter if their specific location is not listed.

The game's release has been eagerly awaited by fans, with the original *Hollow Knight* earning widespread praise. The sequel promises to build upon the foundation of its predecessor, offering a new adventure for players to explore.

BNN's Perspective: The staggered release times across the globe, while potentially frustrating for some, are a common practice in the gaming industry. This approach allows developers to manage server load and ensure a smoother launch experience for the majority of players. While the later release times for players in Australia and New Zealand might seem unfair, it's a necessary compromise in the global release strategy.
