Hollow Knight: Silksong is coming to the Switch 2, but Team Cherry still isn’t ready to give us a release date. The highly anticipated sequel to Hollow Knight will now launch on Nintendo’s next-gen console alongside its previously confirmed platforms: PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC (Steam, GOG, Humble Store). It’ll also be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
A new kingdom, new challenges
Playing as Hornet, the fierce princess-protector of Hallownest, you’ll navigate a vast, mysterious world filled with silk, song, and danger. Captured and transported to a foreign land, you must fight through hordes of foes, solve deep mysteries, and climb to the kingdom’s peak.
Team Cherry promises a game just as rich and immersive as the original, with expanded combat and exploration mechanics. Expect fast-paced, acrobatic action as you wield Hornet’s agile moves to battle new enemies and traverse intricate environments.
Hollow Knight: Silksong new features

While fans have been waiting years for Silksong, the confirmation of a Switch 2 version suggests Team Cherry is preparing for a big release. But until they drop that elusive launch date, we’ll just have to keep waiting.
