Critically acclaimed Metroidvania Hollow Knight will bring its atmospheric brand of adventure to the PlayStation 4 on 25th September, developer Team Cherry has announced. That’s exactly two weeks away at the time of typing, so you haven’t got to wait long to see what all of the fuss is about.
In even better news, the version that’s launching on Sony’s system is the Voidheart Edition, which includes the base game alongside four additional content packs, bundling bonus missions, boss fights, and abilities. Even better is that PlayStation Plus subscribers will secure a 20 per cent discount when pre-ordering.
In case you missed the news earlier in the year, a physical release is also planned.

So it's the same release as other platforms just with a fancy name to signify you don't need to download them as update files due to the base game releasing first?
Still, enjoy. It's a good game, but I had to put it down after a while.
I've been waiting for this announcement since I watched my son play the steam version. Day one purchase. Hollow Knight is a great game, and a nice change of pace from Monster Hunter/Spider-Man ( the games I'm currently playing )
Absolutely phenomenal game, and a complete steal at its price. Everyone should give this a go!
Enjoyed this quite a bit on the Switch, but I'm looking forward to playing it with a good controller.
@Enuo Steam + Dualshock 4 is over that way.
I knew this game would eventually release on PS4 but this was faster than I thought, poor Switch owners they won't feel special anymore they were saying this was a Switch exclusive for at least a year, now they are gonna say that the game wasn't that great after all 😝
Uuuuh I'm interested! Is the price any good?
The hell!? Good thing I've waited. I was very frightened to purchase the Switch version, because I'm not very good at playing difficult platformers with the Pro Controller or JoyCon dpad. Now, the fears are gone. All the Dualshock dpad goodness.
@GKO900 Gamers of that caliber are an embarrassment to the hobby.
@AFCC £9.27 for PS+ or £11.59 without.

It's really, really great.. but then it kind of out stays its welcome.
@Thrillho That's a good price. I don't know why but I expected it to be way more than that.
Some people here are really mad that this game is coming to PS4 and can't even hide it, lol.
I believe all the dlc is included in the steam version as well. It's a really really good game. It's right up there with axiom Verge. I don't think they're super Metroid perfection though.
@PS_Nation It was the game of the year for a lot of Switch owners and only for Switch or at least for a year so they thought now they are salty they lost their exclusivity
@GKO900 dunno why that should matter to em... at the end of the day it’s a INDIE game plus it’s already on PC... can’t say it’s reallt a exclusive
@Derpie1 It matters to them because they haven't got a lot of good games this year and the only one worthy is SSB which is releasing at the end of the year
@GKO900 shrugs
In the end I think for each platform holder company fandom they should just enjoy what they have on thier System & what they have in thier games and not go at others...
Gonna wait for the disc version.
@Derpie1 There's also the fans who'll dismiss a great exclusive as something just mediocre, until it comes to their favourite platform. Then, it's awesome.
To those gamers, being insecure about "your team" losing an exclusive is so bizzare. Be happy more people get to try it. Devs make more money, thus can make more games. It's win-win. The days when 3rd party exclusives were plentiful are over.
Why they announced it now, I'll buy the ps4 version rather than switch if I know it will come to ps4 this september
Didn't think this was coming until next year. Definitely getting this. I've heard nothing but good things about it.
@Thrillho so that's about $12 us with PS plus?
@Thrillho Thanks for the heads up! Just pre-ordered.
Seems like a steal given how much praise this game has got.
@EVIL-C PS4 still gets a good bit of 3rd Party Exclusives
While that box w the X on it only can snag timed exclusivity (look at PUBG & such)
And THAT company that has that underpowered Console some games are timed and some are as questionable as some of these companies “corporate decisions”
@ellsworth004 Seems about right, although the UK seems to get stung sometimes. Still seems a great price though.
A cursory look on the US store (as best as I can) and I can’t see it there yet.
@Thrillho yeah, its a good deal. I was expecting $20 or more.
I got this game a few weeks ago on Switch and I love it. I'll probably buy it again on PS4, maybe I'll wait for that physical version.
@Thrillho cheap! Thanks
