In 2025, players finally got to pick up Hollow Knight: Silksong after a long wait. The first game, Hollow Knight, came out in 2017. At the time, Silksong was intended to be a DLC for the original game.
Two years later, in 2019, Team Cherry announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong would become a separate game. Now, fans are wondering if they will see the same cycle a second time with the upcoming Sea of Sorrow DLC.
Will Sea of Sorrow DLC Be Delayed?
Team Cherry has said it will be giving players all DLC for Hollow Knight: Silksong, both big and small, to the players for free. The first DLC that is supposed to come is Sea of Sorrow. On December 15, 2025 Team Cherry announced that Sea of Sorrow would be released in 2026 without a specific date.
Now, the language in the Silksong booklet is being questioned. It says, “In the first giant expansion, voyage across and beneath a salt-stricken ocean brimming with mystery and menace.” Calling it a giant expansion has fans questioning whether they will see a repeat of past events. The booklet also says, “Coming soon,” below the DLC’s logo, leaving room for change. As the end of 2026 is fast approaching with no word from Team Cherry since February 5, 2026 on X and March 16, 2026 on its blog page, concern is spreading that it may be announcing a delay soon.
