Hollow Knight: Silksong Launches Worldwide on Nintendo Switch, Soundtrack Debuts on Bandcamp

After years of anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally launched across all major gaming platforms, including the highly popular Nintendo Switch.

Developed by Team Cherry, the indie studio renowned for their award-winning mastery within the Metroidvania genre, Silksong expands upon the atmospheric world introduced in the original Hollow Knight.

Hollow Knight: Silksong thrusts players into the role of Hornet, offering an entirely new adventure filled with intricate platforming, challenging foes, and spectacular hand-drawn environments.

Since its original reveal during a Nintendo Direct, Silksong has captivated fans and critics alike.

Now, on release day, players can enjoy the game across Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox hardware, underlining its broad platform appeal. Alongside this major launch, Team Cherry has also released the Hollow Knight: Silksong original soundtrack through Bandcamp.

The soundtrack, widely praised for its evocative score, is now available to purchase.

Notably, the timing coincides with Bandcamp Friday—an initiative where the platform waives its revenue share, ensuring that all proceeds from purchases on that day go directly to the musician.

For fans and supporters, purchasing the soundtrack on Bandcamp Friday is an excellent way to directly support the creators behind the celebrated music of Silksong. In a recent statement, Team Cherry highlighted their gratitude for the ongoing support of the Hollow Knight community and expressed excitement to, at last, share both the game and its music with a global audience.

"Bringing Silksong to multiple platforms has been a major milestone for us as a studio, and we're thrilled to finally release both the game and its soundtrack to fans worldwide," the developer commented. Hollow Knight: Silksong's worldwide launch marks a significant moment not just for Team Cherry, but for the broader indie game development scene.

As one of the most anticipated releases in recent years, its arrival on the Nintendo Switch eShop and other digital storefronts cements its status as a major event in the gaming calendar.

With critical acclaim already building and the soundtrack now spreading its magic on Bandcamp, Silksong looks set to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor as a modern Metroidvania classic.

Players can purchase Hollow Knight: Silksong today via the Nintendo eShop and explore its soundtrack through Bandcamp, with direct support for the composers especially recommended on Bandcamp Friday.

Stay tuned for further updates on Team Cherry and their ongoing contributions to the realms of indie gaming and video game music.
