Finally, Hollow Knight: Silk Song revelers have something else to look forward to as Team Cherry teases the game’s first major expansion.
Titled ‘Sea of Sorrow’, the accompanying teaser trailer found on the Team Cherry Holiday 2025 blog post doesn’t reveal any gameplay. However, it is slated for a 2026 arrival, will be completely free, and will add brand new “areas, bosses, tools and more!”

Team Cherry also used this time to announce it Hollow Knight Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is also under development. This version of the game will essentially bring it up to speed with silk song, adding support for higher frame rates and resolutions, and “many additional graphical effects.”
Players who already own Hollow Knight on Nintendo Switch will be able to upgrade to Nintendo Switch 2 Edition at no additional cost. So there’s your incentive for another playthrough. Additionally, in the run up to the release of the Switch 2 Edition, Hollow Knight will receive new features and bug fixes across all platforms.
If you’re on PC, you can check out these updates early via public beta sections on Steam and GOG. New updates include 16:10 and 21:9 resolution options for players on Steam Deck and ultrawide screens respectively. You can get a sneak peek at the preliminary changes in a Steam blog post here.
Eventually, Team Cherry confirmed it as well Silk song has sold north of 7 million copies in just three and a half months since its launch. “It’s truly a staggering number of players,” reads the post, “more than we could have ever expected (enough to bring down all storefronts!)”.
“Watching the community grow, seeing the amazing art, mods, unexpected strategies and support between players through the game’s challenges has been hugely rewarding for us here at home. Your continued enthusiasm remains a massive motivator as we work to expand the game even further.”
