As things stand as of now, Hollow Knight is an eShop-only title. However, that could change in the future.

Developer Team Cherry wrote the following in a Kickstarter update about a potential physical version on Switch:

“Team Cherry is often asked whether a physical version of Hollow Knight is coming for Nintendo Switch. In fact, the question keeps filling up our inboxes! While we’re not able to announce anything, we can say we’ve been looking into it making this happen, and things are looking promising!”

Hollow Knight was said to be “feature complete” on Switch last month. Perhaps it won’t be too long until we receive a final release date.
