During Nintendo's partner direct, Team Cherry revealed that the previously announced Switch 2 Edition of Hollow Knight would be launching for the console later that day on February 5, alongside a free upgrade path for owners. The Switch 2 is no stranger to upgraded ports, as Nintendo has already released a long line of upgraded content after the console launched early last year. However, Team Cherry's announcement of a special Switch 2 edition of Hollow Knight does a few things very differently from what Nintendo has done.
It's been a busy few months for the indie studio after finally launching Hollow Knight: Silksong after years of development and relative silence. The lengthy development time appears to have been worth the wait, as Silksong managed to claim a ton of industry awards, even though there were some players a bit turned off by the game's overall difficulty. Even with Silksong now out in the wild, Team Cherry continued working on other projects, including an upcoming expansion for Silksong and now the anticipated Switch 2 Edition of the original Hollow Knight.
