Team Cherry has announced a brand-new expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong. It is called Sea of Sorrow, and the best part is that it will be free for all players. The expansion is planned to launch sometime in 2026.
Along with the expansion news, Team Cherry also confirmed that Hollow Knight: Silksong has crossed an impressive milestone. The game has now sold more than seven million copies worldwide. This number does not even include players accessing the game through Xbox Game Pass, which makes the achievement even bigger.
According to Team Cherry, Sea of Sorrow will add new areas, new bosses, new tools, and additional content to the game. The expansion will follow a nautical theme, which means players can expect sea-inspired locations and a fresh atmosphere while continuing Hornet’s journey. The developers have kept most details secret for now, but promised to share more information closer to release.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is already available on a wide range of platforms. These include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through Steam, GOG, Humble Store, and the Microsoft Store. The game is also playable via Xbox Game Pass.
The announcement has been received very positively by fans. Many players are happy to see Team Cherry offering a large expansion for free, especially after the game’s long development cycle and successful launch. It also shows the studio’s commitment to supporting the game even after reaching massive sales numbers.
