On Team Cherry’s official blog, they have announced that Hollow Knight’s development on the Nintendo Switch will be kicking into high gear, with the game already in the final phases of testing and optimisation. Hollow Knight released earlier in February of this year on Steam, to rave reviews with a Metacritic score of 86%. The game’s design is done in a ’metroidvania’ manner, letting players explore an ancient, labyrinthine underground kingdom. The sprawling underground caverns lie hidden away under the town of Dirthmouth, a nearly deserted town where all the residents have fled underground.
As the titular and enigmatic Hollow Knight, who has arrived at the town under mysterious circumstances, must venture deep underground to the Hallownest in order to restore the town to its former glory. Team Cherry have also promised that Hollow Knight will include the upcoming Hidden Dreams DLC with the base game once it hits the E-shop on the Nintendo Switch. The new downloadable content adds the following to the already expansive world of Hollow Knight as stated on the official website:
Hollow Knight will also be coming to the PlayStation 4 in addition to the Nintendo Switch release, currently Team Cherry has not issued anything in regards to a release date for either console iteration.
