Release details, platforms and pre-orders
Meridiem Games just confirmed what collectors have been hoping for: Hollow Knight: Silksong will land on physical media in Spain on October 16. It’s coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and the new Nintendo Switch 2 (and the Switch 2 cartridge is compatible with the original Switch).
The original Hollow Knight also gets a boxed re-release that same day for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Both retail versions carry a suggested price of €49.99 in Spain, and pre-orders are already live at various shops and specialty retailers.
What’s in the box and why this matters
The Silksong physical edition is a proper collector’s package — expect the game disc or card plus a 32-page manual and a fold-out map of Telalejana. The first game’s new physical edition follows the same vibe with a 28-page manual and a Hallownest map. Not just stickers and fluff: these extras actually feel like something you’d want to keep on the shelf.
Switch 2 versions are shipping as traditional game cards, so you won’t need to sit through a massive day-one download to dive in — a small but welcome quality-of-life win for anyone who likes instant play.
Why gamers should care: both Hollow Knight and Silksong are celebrated Metroidvanias known for tight level design, brutal bosses, and tons of secrets. A boxed edition gives fans a tangible memento of two games that already mean a lot to the community — and for completionists and physical collectors, it’s a no-brainer.
Community reaction? Expect the usual blend of squeals, memes, and frantic pre-ordering. If you’re into display-worthy editions, maps you can actually unfold, and manuals you can read for bedtime lore, this release is tailor-made for you.
