Fangamer has released physical editions of Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong for the Nintendo Switch 2, delivering premium packaging and collectible extras for fans of Team Cherry’s series.
Hollow Knight, developed by independent Australian studio Team Cherry, originally launched on PC on February 24, 2017, and later arrived on the original Nintendo Switch in 2018.
Silksong was formally announced by Team Cherry in 2019 and remains a highly anticipated follow-up.
The new Fangamer Switch 2 editions emphasize presentation and physical extras.
Both boxes feature wrap-around cover art that creates detailed spines and reversible sleeves that let buyers choose a cover without the standard console terms-and-conditions strip.
Review copies sent to press show that the editions are attractively produced, with a clear focus on premium materials and collectible presentation.
Inside each box, Fangamer includes several tangible extras that echo classic retail releases.
Each cartridge includes an instruction booklet that outlines the Knight and Hornet move sets, upgrade abilities, and notable points of interest in the game worlds — a reminder of the value of physical manuals in the modern era.
The editions also contain a full printed map for each game, folded into a wax-stamped envelope for storage; the maps offer detailed location information that can assist players exploring Hallownest and Pharloom.
Fangamer’s packaging notes that all of the original Hollow Knight updates and additional content are present on the cartridge.
By contrast, Silksong’s Sea of Sorrow expansion is not included on the physical cartridge; Fangamer indicates that the expansion will be provided as a free download to owners of the Silksong physical when it becomes available.
Team Cherry has not announced a firm release date for Silksong or its expansions as of mid-2024.
Both Hollow Knight and Silksong Switch 2 physical editions are now listed for purchase on the Fangamer website.
These releases represent a continued appetite in the market for high-quality physical editions of indie titles, pairing collectible packaging with the portability and platform features of Nintendo’s Switch 2 hardware.
