Hollow Knight Silksong Sells 7 Million and Announces Free Expansion

Team Cherry celebrates a sales milestone for Hollow Knight: Silksong, which has reached over 7 million copies sold since its release on September 4, 2025. The game has reached a wide range of platforms, including PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, Xbox Series, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and also on Game Pass.

The news of the commercial performance was accompanied by an announcement that directly benefits players: an expansion for the title is on the way. Entitled “Sea of Sorrow”, the expansion will be released in 2026 and, notably, will not have any additional cost for players who already own the base game.

Hornet's adventure will be expanded with a nautical theme, adding new content. Team Cherry has confirmed that Sea of Sorrow will include new areas, new bosses, and new tools for players to use.

The studio confirmed the existence of the expansion and revealed these little details, but requested that fans wait for more information. New updates about the expansion Hollow Knight: Silksong - Sea of Sorrow will be revealed shortly before its release in 2026. The free expansion reinforces Team Cherry's commitment to post-launch support for their success.
