Fangamer has confirmed new physical editions of Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hollow Knight for Nintendo Switch 2, marking a notable retail push for both indie titles.
The announcement covers packaging contents, cross-compatibility with the original Nintendo Switch, and a firm release date of October 16, 2026.
Key details and packaging
- Hollow Knight: Silksong will receive its first-ever physical release.
Fangamer describes the Silksong edition as a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition that remains playable on Nintendo Switch 1 hardware.
Each copy will include a 32-page game manual and a 9-by-12-inch poster featuring original artwork by illustrator Rubén Molina.
Fangamer also clarified that the upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC will not be included on the Silksong cartridge.
- Hollow Knight is being reissued as a Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition after previously being sold in physical form only on the original Nintendo Switch.
The new Hollow Knight package will contain a 28-page game manual and a 9-by-12-inch poster, and the cartridge is likewise compatible with Nintendo Switch 1 systems.
Paraphrased statement
Fangamer indicated that Silksong’s physical edition is the franchise’s first physical release and emphasized that both Switch 2 editions are backward compatible with Switch 1 hardware.
The company also noted that physical media will include manuals and poster art, but confirmed the Sea of Sorrow DLC will not be present on Silksong’s cartridge.
Release timing and sales context
Both physical editions are scheduled to ship on October 16, 2026.
Fangamer’s announcement did not attach retailer pre-order windows in the initial reveal; publishers and retailers typically release pre-order information closer to launch.
Separately, both Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong are currently discounted on the Nintendo eShop as part of an indie sale, offering digital savings ahead of the physical launch.
Why this matters
Physical editions provide collectors and fans of Team Cherry with tangible extras such as manuals and poster art by Rubén Molina, while the Switch 2 Editions ensure continuity for players who remain on the original Switch.
For now, fans should note the Sea of Sorrow DLC exclusion on Silksong cartridges and watch Fangamer and retailers for pre-order announcements and availability updates.
