Hollow Knight: Silksong releases on September 4, 2025, at 14:00 UTC. Since release times differ across time zones, the digits on the clock will not be synced for all regions. To make things easier, we’ve converted the official timing into a schedule for all major regions.

Keeping a synchronized timing ensures everyone gets to try out the game at the same time. Since the game has been highly anticipated, giving certain regions the luxury to play early would be unfair. However, there are ways to bypass timings at times.
Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong Early?
No, there’s no way you’ll be able to play Hollow Knight: Silksong early. As a matter of fact, Team Cherry has also taken a solid stand on not giving any early access or review codes as well. Everyone will have to wait for the official release date, with no exceptions or special treatment.
Even techniques like the New Zealand method won’t work to unlock the game early. For those who don’t know, you can set your computer’s local timezone to set yourself early. While that works for many games, Hollow Knight: Silksong isn’t one of them. The global release of the game will strictly follow the scheduled launch time of 14:00 UTC.
However, you can use the New Zealand trick for other game releases that don’t follow server-based time. Are you excited to try out Hollow Knight: Silksong? What was your favorite area in the original Hollow Knight game? Share your thoughts in the comments below. We’d love to know what you think.
