GODMASTER RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED!
Alright team. Strap in. This one’s a biggy. We’ve got release dates, albums, new merchandise, new team member. Everything’s in here because we’re so busy we have to bundle all our news at once! Let’s get down to it!
Hollow Knight: Godmaster
We’re leading with a big one: Our dates are locked in. Hollow Knight’s fourth Free Content Pack, Godmaster will be arriving for all players on August 23rd!
We said this’d be the largest pack yet and we weren’t lying! A whole bunch of new bosses. A slew of new music. New NPCs. New Quests. The final chapter for the knight is turning into the celebration we hoped it would be!
We’re so eager to get this one out to you all, and we’re so close. Get your PC or Nintendo Switch ready for the end of August. We’re gonna put your Hollow Knight skills to the test!
Hollow Knight Gods & Nightmares
This one’s been hinted at for a while and today it’s being officially unveiled. The second Hollow Knight album by Christopher Larkin: Gods & Nightmares.
Through Hollow Knight’s Content Packs, Chris has been expanding Hollow Knight with a full suite of incredible new tracks. Gods & Nightmares packages them all together in one epic album (along with an all new, live recorded arrangement, Pale Court).
It’s not been said before, but Chris created all of the extra Hollow Knight music for free! If you love the music (and sound) of Hollow Knight, buy the album and support this incredibly talented composer!
Hollow Knight Gods & Nightmares is releasing on Steam ($4.99USD) and all major digital platforms (Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify) on August 9th.
Gods & Nightmares Limited Vinyl
But wait! The Gods & Nightmares saga doesn’t end there. Our friends over at Ghost Ramp have been working around the clock to produce this stunning, limited Vinyl, collating all 15 of the new tracks onto one very large, very cool disc.
Just check out this crazy package! The original Hollow Knight LP is one of our favourite things ever, and we’re so darn excited for this new limited album, all done-up in spooky Grimm-style.
If you’re keen on getting into Gods & Nightmares in the most retro/classy way possible, or just want to support great music, then hurry over to Ghost Ramp and pre-order the darn thing right now!!

Fangamer Frenzy
HK had its surprise Switch release during E3, but just as important our friends at Fangamer announced a selection of smashing new HK goods. The feature item: This gigantic, talking plush Grub!
Yep! This thing is legit. It’s huge. It’s huggable. It’s squishable. It murmurs lovingly at you when tightly squeezed. It’s basically going to be the loyal, adoring companion you’ve always dreamed a grub would be.
You can pop over to Fangamer and pre-order your very own squishy-grub friend right now, and while you’re there, check out all the other cool HK merch that’s just dropped. New Tees. New print. Fangamer, you’re the best!

Introducing Jack
Gang! This one’s been far too long left unmentioned. We want to officially introduce Jack Vine! Jack’s actually been with us for a while now and has taken over Dave’s role at Team Cherry (now that Dave’s landed a cushy corporate gig – Congrats Dave!). When we first met Jack he was showing off his cool Cave Story inspired game at a local game’s convention, and anyone who appreciates Cave Story gets two thumbs up from us! With Jack on-board Team Cherry is back to being a complete 3 person game-developing team!
No photo on hand, so here’s an artist’s rendition of Jack.
HK Switch Version 1.3.4.5
This one’s just some quick housekeeping. If you’re a Hollow Knight player on Nintendo Switch, you may have noticed a small update go out last week. That’s our bug fix patch to address a few stability issues and some niggling bugs in the release version.
With those fixes out of the way, our next update will be Godmaster, which will roll in a few more small fixes, including controller re-binding on Switch.
Details here: http://teamcherry.com.au/switch1345/
Far out! That’s a huge whack of news. So much news, we’ll be going silent for the next few weeks as we finesse the last of Godmaster (and cram in some last minute additions!).
Thank you everyone who’s jumping into Hollow Knight for the first time on Nintendo Switch and an extra giant thank you to the Hollow Knight community who’ve been so welcoming to all the new HK players. We’ve seen all the guidance and encouragement on Discord, on Reddit, on Era. Pretty much everywhere we look! We love you all!
Team Cherry ;)
