Hornet's next adventure heads into the Sea of Sorrow.
Team Cherry announced a free nautical expansion with new areas, bosses, and tools.
· 1 min read
In its December 2025 studio update, Team Cherry announced Sea of Sorrow, a nautical expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong. The announcement describes new areas, bosses, tools, and more, and says the expansion will be free for players.
The post gave a 2026 release window and said further information would arrive closer to release. This article covers that announcement; it does not treat the original window as confirmation of a specific launch day.
The same update also announced a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the original Hollow Knight, including higher resolutions and high frame-rate modes, with a free upgrade for owners of the Switch version.
Our take: a sea-themed setting gives Hornet a promising change of scenery. For the expansion's current status, check Team Cherry's own updates rather than assuming a date from the announcement window.
