Developer Team Cherry announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong has surpassed seven million sales since its release in September 2025. Alongside the milestone, the studio confirmed it is working on the game’s first expansion, titled Sea of Sorrow, which is scheduled to release sometime in 2026.
Details on the expansion are still limited, but Team Cherry says Sea of Sorrow will introduce new areas, tools, bosses, and more. The real surprise is that the expansion will be free for all owners of the game, which feels especially generous given how much content Silksong already offers and its current price point across platforms.

As a bonus, players who already own Hollow Knight on the Nintendo Switch will receive the Switch 2 edition for free when it launches sometime in 2026.
