Silksong – Sea of Sorrow Announced

Team Cherry has announced the first big expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong on their blog, featuring a small teaser trailer. It will be called Sea of Sorrow, adding a maritime area to the game, amongst other things. Two months ago I had discussed my DLC ideas for the game and this was right on top of the list.

This first free expansion will most certainly add the missing "Pharloom Bay" area, which we saw in the earlier trailers, but didn't make the cut. This included a new port town, with lots of barnacles around, and will likely be placed to right / east of Bilewater.

Another part of it is the "Lifeblood Spire", which is probably the facility that we can see in the new trailer. They haven't shared any details, but it looks like their DLCs will be going in the right direction.

They give "2026" as a release date, but be careful with that... Team Cherry has a reputation now for taking their time. But to be fair, they had released all content updates for the original Hollow Knight within 18 months from the game's launch, so it's probably going to be in the first half of 2026.
