- Hollow Knight: Silksong's first big expansion, Sea of Sorrow, flows into our lives for free next year - 16 December 2025
What's that I hear? Tinkly piano and the crashing of waves. Oh, it's Hollow Knight: Silksong 's first major expansion, which devs Team Cherry have just announced will be coasting up to the shore some point next year. It's called Sea of Sorrow, and as such looks to contain plenty of somber staring into the splashy swell. Read more
- However a non-Hollow Knight game from Team Cherry might look, there's a particular through line you can still expect - 29 November 2025
Right now, Team Cherry's future is pretty unclear. There is some kind of Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC that'll be coming somewhere along the line , but understandably the developer is keeping their cards close to their chest in terms of what's actually next. They certainly do have some ideas on how they would expand Hollow Knight , i.e. by not making any direct sequels , much like how Silksong isn't one. But in a recent interview, Team Cherry spoke (ever so slightly) more openly about their own future and how the thing that might get in their way most is, well, death. Read more
- Miss the Knight from OG Hollow Knight? There's a Silksong mod that'll solve your little bug blues - 5 November 2025
Throughout my time playing Hollow Knight: Silksong , I mostly didn't actually miss the first game's not-so-titular Knight. I do love that bug, it's just Hornet made for quite a compelling protagonist (even if I think that the game has a number of issues that go further than just it being potentially unfairly hard). I doubt this will be a universal feeling however, which is where this handy mod where you can once again play as the Knight, but in Silksong , comes into play. Read more

Hollow Knight came out eight years ago. I barely remember what happened last week let alone what a game I played almost a decade ago was about. With Silksong finally coming out, that's a problem—and maybe it is for you, too. Thankfully, YouTube has us covered, and you won't need several hours to get caught up... Read more.
- Hollow Knight's creators didn't want to be constrained by the 'metroidvania' label, but they accidentally set a standard that every game since—even Silksong—has to reckon with - 29 August 2025
In a 2017 interview about the making of Hollow Knight's map , designer William Pellen told me that Team Cherry "shied away completely" from describing the game as a metroidvania. Artist Ari Gibson added that they didn't want to "let a genre dictate" the decisions they made about Hollow Knight's design while they were making it... Read more.
- With Silksong just a week away, grab the original Hollow Knight at half price - 28 August 2025
Naturally, I'm pumped for Hollow Knight: Silksong . Honestly, I can't wait; it feels like it was announced a century ago. For those who never got around to playing the original, now would be the ideal time to grab it, because Humble Bundle is offering it at 50% off. I'm sure Silksong will be accessible to newcomers, but I always think it's nice to be filled in on all the lore and history before playing new games. Read the rest of the story...

- "Team Cherry is still cooking" - Geoff Keighley wants you to know you shouldn't expect Hollow Knight: Silksong at Gamescom Opening Night Live - 18 August 2024
Expecting to see Hollow Knight: Silksong at Gamescom Opening Night Live? You definitely shouldn't, as long as Geoff Keighley isn't lying to us. With every single games showcase that is announced, there is always one game that you can spot in the replies: Hollow Knight: Silksong. It's no surprise, ever since its reveal as a standalone title in 2019, fans have been clamouring for a release date, and there hasn't been that many updates from Team Cherry since then. Back in 2022 it was at least confirmed that it would be coming to Xbox Game Pass day one , and in 2023 the official Xbox Twitter account much too confidently claimed it would be out the same year . Many showcases later, here we are over halfway through 2024, and there's still no indication as to when it might be released - but of course, that hasn't stopped fans asking if it'll show up next week at Gamescom Opening Night Live.

- Hollow Knight: Silksong is taking so long to come out, it's already been remade in Minecraft - 22 July 2024
Everyone is still waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong to release, so one YouTuber took it into their hands to get it made in Minecraft . Yeah, yeah, I know, Silksong out yet and it's frustrating. We're all waiting on it! And it is taking a while, but you know what? I bet you haven't even beaten Shadow of the Erdtree yet, so let's put a pin in Silksong for the time being, shall we? Sorry, you're so desperate to play absolutely anything from Silksong that you think you'll burst into a giant plume of confetti if you don't? Fine, alright, calm down. You're in luck, actually, because as it turns out, you can now play Silksong's fabled 2019 E3 demo… in Minecraft. As spotted by TheGamer , YouTuber Primacon commissioned Minecraft map maker Clouser to recreate the 2019 Silksong E3 demo, which you can check out below. Clouser has experience in putting Hollow Knight in Minecraft, as they actually…
- Are we finally going to see Hollow Knight: Silksong at tomorrow’s Indie World Nintendo Direct? - 16 April 2024
A Nintendo Indie World has been set for tomorrow, so of course it begs the question, as it does everytime a games company hosts a presentation: will Silksong be there? The next Nintendo Indie World is taking place tomorrow, 3pm BST/ 10am ET, as announced by the game developer earlier today, and is promising about 20 minutes of "announcements and updates on indie games headed to Nintendo Switch in 2024." That's on the shorter end, even for an Indie World presentation, so don't expect news on absolutely every indie game under the sun. Nintendo normally has some surprises up its sleeves, including for Indie World, but obviously the surprise that everyone is hoping for is a Hollow Knight: Silksong release date. Now, I know what you're thinking: don't people spam "Silksong when?" in the chat of every livestream like this? What makes this one any different? Well, just earlier this week it was…
- The best Metroidvanias to play right now - 22 November 2023
What are the best Metroidvania games? Nintendo's Super Metroid and Konami's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night popularized the Metroidvania, but the genre has come into its own since these inaugural titles. While many of the best Metroidvanias try to recapture the spirit of their forebears, others expand into new territories by incorporating mechanics from RPGs, soulslikes , and even pinball. The result is a dynamic genre offering a wealth of familiar and fresh experiences - some recent, many of them cheap, and a few of them some of the best PC games ever made.

- Hollow Knight players release fan-made DLC, helping us endure the wait for literally any Silksong info - 5 July 2023
While many await a morsel of news regarding Hollow Knight: Silksong since its delay during May , some keen Hollow Knight players have worked tirelessly to create an impressive, fan-made DLC known as Pale Court for the game (thanks, GamesRadar ). So, if you’re in need of a way to satiate that Hollow Knight itch, the Pale Court DLC should have you covered for the time being. Released on July 1 following a launch trailer , the fan-made DLC can be downloaded via Github at your own discretion, and you’ll need the Scarab+ mod manager to get it working. The Pale Court mod will allow players to “challenge Hallownest’s mightiest champions in combat”, with boss fights and lore massively expanded. There’s also new charms, secrets, and dialogue to look forward to; all lovingly made by fans in the style of Hollow Knight’s developer, Team Cherry. If you’re interested in the creators behin…
