"It still feels odd to live in a post- Hollow Knight: Silksong reality. The game was ephemeral for so many years that it feels almost crass for it to have been released three months ago. It probably helps that it's been rapturously received-among more nuanced criticism-and there's now more good news: somehow, improbably, Team Cherry is well on its way to releasing a free expansion due in 2026."
"The enigmatically quiet Team Cherry has posted an update to its hilariously infrequently updated blog, detailing the news, but also making clear the small team's delight at the success of the game's release. Stating that over seven million people have bought the game so far (does quick math, takes off 30 percent for store tithes...that's $98 million!), Team Cherry says "your continued enthusiasm remains a massive motivator as we work towards expanding the game even further.""
"Sea of Sorrow will have new areas (seemingly wetter than most), bosses and tools, in an expansion that will be completely free when it releases-Team Cherry claims-next year. But seriously? Anyone believe that? Come on. 2027 at the earliest, for sure. Actual information about the DLC, beyond that it has a nautical setting, will be held until "shortly before" the expansion is out, so expect more self-imposed silence from the developers, and then presumably a reply on the Discord when it slips."
Hollow Knight: Silksong launched three months ago and received widespread praise alongside nuanced criticism. Team Cherry announced over seven million copies sold, estimating roughly $98 million after store fees, and expressed delight at the game's success. The studio plans a free expansion called Sea of Sorrow with new water-themed areas, bosses, and tools, nominally due in 2026, though timeline skepticism exists. Additional details will be withheld until shortly before release. Owners of the original Hollow Knight on Switch will receive a free refreshed upgrade for Switch 2.
