Hollow Knight: Silksong. These three simple words bring equal amounts of anticipation and annoyance. On the one hand, it’s sure to be a fantastic experience when it finally releases. On the other hand, I’ve spent so much money on clown makeup since its announcement in 2019 that I should consider a new career in children’s entertainment. Still, the wait is nearly over, and we now have confirmation that you don’t need to spend $400 to play it on a Nintendo console.
Appearing in the recent Nintendo Switch 2 Direct (albeit in a ten-second clip among many other new Switch games), the Metroidvania game caused excitement, but it raised a serious question about what platforms it’s coming to. Luckily, Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffin, the man behind the marketing and publishing for Hollow Knight: Silksong, confirms on X that “Hollow Knight: Silksong is coming to both Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2.”
If the Nintendo Switch 2 price is proving too much for you at the moment, you don’t need to worry about missing out on Hollow Knight: Silksong, with it arriving on both consoles, something that gives me a huge sigh of relief. Sure, I locked my Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order in, but the thought of people missing out when the Hollow Knight: Silksong release date arrives later this year fills me with sadness.
