During a Nintendo Partner Direct on February 5, 2026, Team Cherry announced that Hollow Knight, its classic indie Metroidvania side-scroller, would shadow-drop on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 after the show ended.
This newer version would include higher frame rates and resolutions, along with new special effects. In addition, anybody who owned the previous versions of Hollow Knight on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the next-gen versions for free.
