Silksong Gets Its First Big Expansion
Team Cherry announced Sea of Sorrow as the first major expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong.
The expansion is planned as a free update and is expected to bring new areas, bosses, tools, and more content for players to explore.
A Huge Player Milestone
Team Cherry also said that over 7 million players had purchased Silksong, with millions more playing through Xbox Game Pass.
That made Silksong one of the biggest indie game launches in recent memory.
What Sea of Sorrow Could Add
The expansion has a nautical theme, with Hornet continuing her journey across new dangerous areas.
While Team Cherry has kept many details secret, players can expect more exploration, more bosses, and new tools that could change how Hornet moves or fights.
Why Fans Were Excited
The announcement showed that Team Cherry was not finished with Silksong after launch.
For fans who had already completed the game, Sea of Sorrow gave them a new reason to return and continue exploring Hornet’s world.
