Hollow Knight: Silksong Sea of Sorrow DLC Release Period, Explained

Fans eagerly awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, and now they’re hoping the upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC doesn’t take as long to release. This article provides the newest information about when the expansion is expected to launch and other details.

After a long wait, Hollow Knight: Silksong launched in 2025 and quickly became a hit. While the challenging gameplay tested some players, it captivated millions. The popular indie game has already earned numerous awards, generated significant sales, and developer Team Cherry has announced the first expansion pack.

If everything proceeds smoothly, the wait won’t be too long, and it will be a fantastic addition to an already great game.

When Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Sea of Sorrow DLC Releasing?

Team Cherry announced that the Sea of Sorrow DLC for Hollow Knight: Silksong is planned for release in 2026, and they won’t share any more information about it until then.

The TopMob team is eager for updates on Silksong, just like the fans! However, Team Cherry, the game’s developer, probably understands the stress that comes with announcing a release date for new Hollow Knight content.

The long delay for Silksong was frustrating for fans, and likely difficult for the developers at Team Cherry, who probably just wanted to share their work. Thankfully, the wait seems to have been worth it, as Silksong is now a strong contender for Game of the Year in 2025.

This puts a lot of expectation on the upcoming Sea of Sorrows expansion (and any future downloadable content) to live up to previous standards. While it’s unlikely, if the expansion turns out to be much larger than planned—similar in scope to Silksong—a release date slipping to 2027 is a possibility.

So keep your hopes in check until further notice.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Sea of Sorrow DLC Price & What To Expect

So, I just heard about the Sea of Sorrow DLC for Silksong! It’s awesome that it’s totally free if you already own the game – it comes with the full package. From what I’ve seen, it looks like it’s going to be all about the sea and nautical stuff, which sounds really cool!

Team Cherry had the option to charge players for any new content or expansions for the game, but they’ve chosen not to with Sea of Sorrow. This expansion will be completely free, adding even more value to Silksong, which is already a great deal for its price.

Check out the dev’s official words on the content:

Okay, so I’m super excited – they’re adding a whole bunch of new stuff to the game! We’re talking new levels to explore, tough new bosses to fight, and cool new tools to help us out. It’s a big, nautical-themed expansion, and the best part? It’s totally free for everyone next year. I can’t wait to jump back in as Hornet and see what’s new!

Here’s the Sea of Sorrow DLC trailer.

I’m really excited for Sea of Sorrows, but I’m wondering if we’re all okay with Team Cherry taking as long as they need to make it perfect. They’ve made amazing games, so do they deserve that patience? If you’re thinking about the DLC and Silksong too, the TopMob Discord server is a great place to chat with other fans about it all!
