Team Cherry originally planned to make their game available on the Wii U. Development of the Wii U version began in 2016, alongside the PC version, and it eventually shifted to Switch.
The creators of Hollow Knight worked with another Australian developer, Shark Jump Studios, to speed up the porting process.
Initially, Team Cherry planned the Switch version to arrive "not too long after the platform's launch"; subsequently they delayed it to early 2018.
A release date was not announced until the Nintendo Direct presentation at E3 2018 on 12 June 2018, when it was unveiled the game would be available later that day via Nintendo eShop.
On 3 August 2017, the "Hidden Dreams" DLC was released, featuring two new optional boss encounters, two new songs, a new fast travel system, and a new Stag Station.
On 26 October 2017, "The Grimm Troupe" was released, adding new quests, new boss fights, new charms, new enemies, and other content.
The update also added support for Russian, Portuguese, and Japanese translations of the game.
On 20 April 2018, "Lifeblood" was released, bringing many optimizations, changes to the colors, bug fixes, minor additions and a new boss fight.
On 23 August 2018, the final DLC, "Godmaster" was released, containing new characters, boss fights, music, a new game mode as well as two new endings.
It was renamed from its former title of "Gods and Glory" due to trademark issues.
Hollow Knights PC and PlayStation 4 versions received "generally favorable" reviews and the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions received "universal acclaim", according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Jed Whitaker of Destructoid talked about it as a "masterpiece of gaming ..., and certainly art worthy of being in a museum" and, on PC Gamer, Tom Marks called it a "new classic".
Reviewers talked of Hollow Knights good atmosphere, visuals, sound and music, noting the vastness of the game's world.
Critics thought the combat system as simple, unsurprising or nuanced; they talked about its responsiveness positively, or "tightness", like the movement system.
On IGN, Tom Marks said: "The combat in Hollow Knight is relatively straightforward, but starts out tricky ... It rewards patience and skill massively".
In his review on PC Gamer, Marks said he liked the "brilliant" charm system: "What's so impressive about these charms is that I could never find a 'right' answer when equipping them.
There were no wrong choices."
NintendoWorldReport said: "Charms offer a huge variety of upgrades ... Some charms ... were so essential that removing them felt like trading a part of myself for a better chance at an upcoming battle."
The difficulty of Hollow Knight got attention from reviewers and was talked about as challenging; Vikki Blake of Eurogamer called the game "ruthlessly tough, even occasionally unfair".
For Nintendo World Reports Adam Abou-Nasr it also seemed unfair—he had "so frustratingly hard that I cannot recommend this game" angrily scrawled in his notes—but "it eventually clicked".
Destructoid "never found any of the bosses to be unfair".
Destructoid and Nintendo World Report reviewers felt a sense of accomplishment after hard fights.
Critics compared it to Dark Souls, noting the mechanic of losing currency on death and having to defeat a Shade to regain it.
Destructoid liked this feature, as well as the holding down of a button to heal, because "they circumvent a couple of issues games have always had, namely appropriate punishment for failing, and a risk-reward system".
Hollow Knight had sold over 500,000 copies by November 2017 and  passed 1,000,000 in sales on PC platforms on 11 June 2018, one day before releasing on Nintendo Switch, where it had sold over 250,000 copies in the two weeks after its launch.
By July 2018 it had sold over 1,250,000 copies.
As of February 2019, Hollow Knight has sold over 2,800,000 copies.
The game was nominated for "Best PC Game" in Destructoids Game of the Year Awards 2017, and for "Best Platformer" in IGN'''s Best of 2017 Awards.
It won the award for "Best Platformer" in PC Gamers 2017 Game of the Year Awards.
Polygon later named the game among the decade's best.
A sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, is in development and is set to be released on Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, with Team Cherry stating that "more platforms may happen in the future".
Team Cherry had previously planned this game as a piece of downloadable content.
Kickstarter backers of Hollow Knight will get Silksong'' for free when it is released.
This sequel will be about Hornet exploring the kingdom of Pharloom.
The game was announced in February 2019 but does not have a release date yet.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is an upcoming Metroidvania action-adventure video game developed and published by Team Cherry for Windows, macOS, Linux and Nintendo Switch.
It was originally announced in February 2019 as a sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game, which takes place in a haunted kingdom inhabited by bugs.
The gameplay is similar to that Hollow Knight.
The player controls Hornet, an insect like creature who uses a needle to fight enemies.
During her adventure, Hornet finds many hostile creatures.
The game has 165 confirmed different enemies.
Hornet will also find many friendly non-player characters.
Silksong will have a quest system, with characters asking Hornet to do what they want.
The quest system has at least four sections: Hunt, Gather, Wayfarer and Grand Hunt.
Hornet will be able to craft weapons and tools from materials.
The checkpoint system from the first game will return in Silksong.
Instead of using soul to heal like the Knight from Hollow Knight did, Hornet uses silk.
She can near instantly heal three empty masks on the move using an ability called "Bind" instead of needing to stop and slowly heal one mask at a time like the Knight, which could put it in danger from receiving more damage.
However, this depletes her entire bar of silk.
Upon death, instead of leaving a Shade like the Knight did, Hornet instead leaves a cocoon of silk that refills all 8 notches of silk in her bar when broken.
Hornet loses the main currency of the game, rosaries, upon death without the Rosary String item and they cannot be regained.
Hornet finds herself captured and taken to the kingdom of Pharloom, which is said to be "ruled by Silk and Song."
Hornet must climb to the top of this kingdom to reach a citadel in order to find out why she was brought to this strange kingdom.
This is opposite with the progression of Hollow Knight, which involves descending into the depths of Hallownest and trying to stop the infection plaguing the Kingdom.
Along the way, she fights many powerful opponents including knights, warriors and assassins.
Team Cherry is a small indie development studio based in Adelaide, South Australia.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced on 14 February 2019 in a trailer and with a developer diary video sharing more information about the game.
The game will be released for Windows PC, Mac and Linux, with Nintendo Switch being the only console to receive the game at launch.
Originally, Hornet was planned as a second playable character to be included in a downloadable content pack (DLC) for Hollow Knight, funded as a stretch goal in the game's Kickstarter campaign.
Eventually, Team Cherry decided to expand the DLC to a full sequel.
While in the process, Team Cherry revealed some of the character animations for Hornet and Steel Assassin Sharpe, a villain from the game.
The developers released an update about the game in March 2019, sharing descriptions and images of characters who will appear in Silksong.
They thanked the game's fans for supporting them about the announcement of the sequel.
Team Cherry released a 16-minute playable demo of the game at E3 2019 that had two new areas: Deep Docks and Moss Grotto.
In December 2019, Team Cherry released a preview of the game's soundtrack, composed by Christopher Larkin, as well as an update on the total number of enemies currently developed, with a focus on three enemies, described as "members of a scholarly suite."
In September 2021 the GeForce Now upcoming database was leaked, which included the release date of Hollow Knight: Silksong as February 2022 for some downloads of said database.
However others found the date as "NULL".
These dates are speculative according to Nvidia but have shown varying amounts of accuracy for other games on release.

During the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, December 15, 2021 a low pressure system brought strong, violent winds (both thunderstorm-involved and non-thunderstorm).
Non-thunderstorm winds and gusts led to rapidly moving fires across Colorado and western Kansas.
Dust and debris spread eastward from there.
A powerful derecho (intense and very dangerous showers and thunderstorms having straight line winds and often varying levels of rain) led to several hundred damaging wind reports.
That started from central Kansas northeast to east-central Wisconsin.
The United States' National Weather Service got fifty-five hurricane force wind reports.
The derecho was considered the most prolific (meaning productive) such event dating back to 2004.
Weather synopsis
On December 15, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) warned of the potential (possibility) of severe, widespread and intense wind events from the eastern Great Plains to the western Great Lakes region.
Along with strong winds, dry lines and a very strong cold front were forecast to be supported with a strong low pressure area southward into northeastern Missouri.
Right ahead of these components, out-of-season air masses were predicted to take shape across several states.
In Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, temperatures were from between 30°F and 45°F higher than December averages.
Dew points reached into the lower 60s Fahrenheit.
Given these ingredients, along with a weakening cap inversion, forecasters called for severe thunderstorms to get started and become widespread over the Upper Mississippi and Mid-Missouri valleys.
Strong, damaging winds were the most predicted threat.
Tornadoes, though, were also possible.
One to two EF2 and greater were not ruled out.
Severe weather probability and notices
On Monday, December 13 just before 2:30 am Central Standard Time (0830 UTC), forecasters stated a level 1/5 marginal risk for severe weather between 60 and 78 hours from there.
The original severe likelihood was focused on areas from eastern Nebraska, across Iowa and south central Minnesota.
Two days following that, just before midnight on December 14 (0600 UTC December 15), the level was upgraded towards moderate in north central and western Iowa.
The same level of probability extended into southeastern Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin near La Crosse, Winona and nearby Rochester.
Slight or enhanced chances involved other areas of the same states.
Included in the slight or enhanced risk area were Eau Claire, the Minneapolis–Saint Paul Metropolitan Area and the Cedar Rapids–Iowa City metropolitan regions of eastern Iowa.
That was the first moderate risk ever called across Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota in December of any year.
The first tornado watch for December 15 was called into effect at 1:20 pm CST (1920 UTC).
The watch involved sections of eastern Nebraska, northeastern Kansas, northwestern Missouri, large sections of Iowa and south-central Minnesota.
That was right after a quick-traveling thunderstorm line got into progress.
Wind storm and derecho events
Along with the severe thunderstorms' damaging winds, the similar unrelated winds also became widespread that day.
Many National Weather Service offices had almost 84 million people in the high wind warning notice alone.
The intensity and scope with the dry wind led to very dangerous fire weather situations across the Central Plains.
Within that region, SPC officials outlined an important critical region from the Texas Panhandle to central Kansas.
Extreme regions also included eastern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico.
In Colorado, particularly across the central and eastern sections of the state, an Air Quality alert was activated in anticipation of the combined air and dust over the area.
There were rolling road closures across Interstates 25 and 70.
On the earlier, six tractor trailers (semi trucks) turned over or flipped in strong winds in Colorado Springs.
In Pueblo city bus services were suspended for more than three hours.
Some trees in the area were damaged.
Roofs were ripped from homes.
Fences and lots of vehicles were blown over during the winds.
Power lines were downed all over the area.
In advance of the dangerous weather, several school and education districts in southwestern Kansas had to close classes.
Strong, powerful winds stirred dust all over Kansas.
State Departments of Transportation closed several highways.
In particular, Interstate 70 from the Colorado-Kansas state border east to Salina for crashes blocking the road.
Two separate crashes from poor visibility led to the deaths of three people in the state.
In nearby Nebraska, winds of just below 85 mph were reported at Grand Island.
There, several rail cars were blown over.
Local authorities were notified of blown out vehicles' windows, felled trees, downed power lines and flipped over semi-trucks.
Across Iowa, similarly violent winds happened.
Hurricane-force wind gusts took place.
Near Audubon, winds gusted to 88 mph.
One man was killed when a gust blew down his semi-tractor-trailer.
In Minnesota just north, another man was killed when a tree landed onto him.
Tornado event
Almost eight dozen tornadoes were caused related to the storm.
One in particular was later established for the first tornado in Minnesota in December.
According to the National Weather Service, there may have been two tornadoes in that state.

Plectrohyla chrysopleura is a frog that lives in Honduras.
Scientists have seen it between 930 and 1550 meters above sea level.
The Latin name for this frog chrysopleura comes from the Greek words chrysos, for "gold," and pleura for "side."
It is named after the yellow marks on the sides of its body.
The adult male frog is 5.7 to 6.6 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 6.3 to 6.6 cm long.
This frog has teeth.
This frog is gray in color with some bronze.
It has yellow marks on its sides.
Its eardrums are bronze or copper in color.
Its belly is yellow-gray.
Its legs are yellow and olive green.
Adult female frogs and young frogs of both sexes have some dark brown color too.
This frog lays eggs in streams.
Scientists think this frog is endangered because human beings change the places where it lives when they cut down trees for logging, turn forests into farms, or let cows and other animals eat grass in them.
It is also endangered because of not enough rainfall, floods, and climate change.
The fungal disease chytridiomycosis can also kill this frog.

Other Game of Death movies after the death of Bruce Lee.
After the first appearance, in 1973, of The Game of Death within the documentary Bruce Lee: the Mand and the Legend, several studios exploited the situation by making their own versions of Game of Death based on what they had learned of the story from production stills and magazine articles.
Some of these films pre-dated Robert Clouse's Game of Death (1978 movie).
Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death (1975), Enter the Game of Death (1978), The True Game of Death (1979) and others.
The sequel Game of Death II, is a kung fu action mystery film directed by Ng See-yuen which used cut footage from Lee's Enter the Dragon to have him make an appearance in the beginning of the film, only to be killed off midway, allowing his on-screen brother to take on the role of protagonist.
Aside from the international English dub giving the Bruce Lee  character the name Billy Lo, this movie appears to have no connection with Clouse's film.
