Hollow Knight Shadow-Dropping On Switch 2 Today With Enhanced Visuals And Improved Frame Rates

After a leak, today's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase revealed that a Switch 2 edition of the original Hollow Knight is launching today as a shadow-drop. The Switch 2 edition has enhanced visuals and improved frame rates. People who already own Hollow Knight for Switch 1 can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free.

Developer Team Cherry had previously mentioned that a Switch 2 edition of Hollow Knight was in development, with high frame rate modes, options for higher resolutions, and other graphical upgrades. As an added bonus, the studio confirmed that players who already own the Nintendo Switch version of Hollow Knight will get the Switch 2 Edition for free when it launches.

Hollow Knight is also being updated across all platforms, with new features added and any lingering bugs squashed. PC players have already had a chance to preview these changes through a new public beta branch of Hollow Knight, available for testing on Steam and GOG.
