Team Cherry has given everyone an early Christmas gift.
Many are preparing to take their holiday vacation and that includes Team Cherry. However, the Hollow Knight creators aren’t taking their break without a few exciting announcements. On Monday evening, the studio announced that an expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong is in the works and will be ready to roll for all versions of the game next year.
“New areas, bosses, tools, and more!” reads the post on the Team Cherry website. “Hornet’s adventures continue in our nautically themed expansion, coming free for all players next year. We’ll keep further details a secret for now, but expect additional info shortly before Hollow Knight: Silksong – Sea of Sorrow releases.”
In addition to that, Team Cherry has also announced that a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version of the original Hollow Knight is also in development. This version of the game will include various Switch 2-exclusive upgrades, such as higher resolutions and additional graphical effects. Those who own the existing Nintendo Switch version of the game will be able to upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free as soon as it’s available. On top of that, a public beta branch version of this update is available on many existing platforms. More information can be found on the Hollow Knight Steam page.
There’s no exact release timing for Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Sea of Sorrow expansion or the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hollow Knight, but we’ll be sure to keep our eye out for those here at Shacknews. If you’re still running through your first Silksong playthrough, allow us to help with our Silksong map on Shackmaps and our various guides that can be found on the Hollow Knight: Silksong topic page.
Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can’t enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
