Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel from indie developer Team Cherry, continues to generate buzz in the lead-up to its upcoming release on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
Set to launch globally on September 4, 2025, Silksong will arrive on Nintendo’s flagship platforms after years of anticipation from fans and critics alike.
With the original Hollow Knight achieving critical acclaim and notable commercial success since its debut, Team Cherry’s sophomore effort has quickly become one of the most eagerly awaited indie titles in recent memory.

Gibson added, "The real intrigue now lies in the possibilities for new additions.
We have a roadmap, and while some of our aspirations are quite ambitious, we’re hopeful that we’ll bring several of them to fruition."
Hollow Knight: Silksong’s progression marks a significant chapter not only for Team Cherry but also for the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 platforms.
