Hollow Knight

The next game to get the Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial treatment in Europe has been revealed by Nintendo to be Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight.

Those that are currently a part of the service can play the full game entirely at no extra cost. The trial period will be held between June 6 and June 12.

Like other similar offers of this nature, any progress you make can be used in the full version if you choose to purchase the game later on. Additionally, you can earn Platinum Points on My Nintendo simply for participating.

Hollow Knight originally released on Switch via the eShop on June 12 2018, meaning it will mark its sixth anniversary when the Game Trial period ends. Read more about it below.

Hollow Knight Nendoroids

Good Smile has shared an update on the Hollow Knight Nendoroids, with The Knight and Hornet getting a release date and photos – plus pre-orders are now live around the world.

The Knight includes a clock, nail, attacking effect parts, Knightling, and other optional parts for different poses. Hornet features a clock, needle, attacking effect parts, Cogfly, and other optional parts for different poses. Both also come with a stand as the products do not stand on their own.

The Knight is measured at roughly 100mm. Hornet is slightly bigger at about 130mm.

Hollow Knight The Knight Hornet Nendoroids

Good Smile has revealed not one, but two new Nendoroid figures for Hollow Knight. The news was shared as part of the company’s WonHobbyG 2023 Spring event.

Nendoroids are planned for both The Knight and Hornet. Of course, these are the stars of Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong respectively. The latter game has still yet to actually release.

Hello my beautiful Popos and Nanas! Oni and Galen have a great discussion overall, in our most intimate episode of NEP yet. We talk localization and well-written characters in fiction, the pros and cons of the Switch Lite (and what this could mean for a future β€œPro” variant), Dr. Mario and how different in design it is, and we tie things up with a discussion of Fire Emblem and LGBTQ+ representation in media and video games. We hope you enjoy.

The best way to support our show is to give us a review on iTunes, so we would appreciate if you could take the time to do so. We really appreciate all your support and thank you so much for listening!

A few days ago, we found out that Hollow Knight will have a physical version after all despite being cancelled previously. Fangamer will even be releasing a special collector’s edition.

For those in Europe, you’ll be happy to hear that the standard edition of Hollow Knight will also be offered there. Amazon Spain is already taking pre-orders here.

As for the collector’s edition, it looks like it will be a Fangamer-exclusive. Importing is an option, but we’re hearing that shipping costs can be rather high.

Thanks to axel for the tip.

Hollow Knight was originally going to be receiving a physical version through Skybound Games. That didn’t happen in the end, but the game will be sold at retail after all.

Team Cherry will be moving forward with bringing Hollow Knight to retailers on its own. Additionally, a collector’s edition will be sold at Fangamer, which includes:

Team Cherry shared some additional news tidbits about Hollow Knight: Silksong, which they announced earlier today, in a new blog post. The original Hollow Knight started out as a Kickstarter project, and all 2158 backers will receive Hollow Knight: Silksong for free. Backers can choose to receive a code for either the Switch or the PC version.

The blog post also reveals that the original Hollow Knight has sold a total of 2.8 million copies so far across all platforms. While we don’t have an exact breakdown by platform, we know that the game sold 250,000 copies on Nintendo Switch in its first two weeks.

Finally, here are some in-game screenshots from Hollow Knight: Silksong:

It was unexpectedly announced yesterday that the physical version of Hollow Knight has been cancelled. We had only heard from Skybound at the time, but Team Cherry has issued its own response now as well.

Team Cherry said that pursuing the retail version “proved more work than we could reasonably manage.” While the company may explore a different way for this to happen in the future, it will probably “be in smaller quantities.”

Hollow Knight

Earlier this year, Team Cherry and Skybound Games announced a partnership to publish a physical version of Hollow Knight. Sadly, the deal has fallen through.

Skybound said on Twitter a short while ago that it is no longer working with Team Cherry on Hollow Knight. Team Cherry itself has not yet provided a statement.

It might be possible that Hollow Knight will be receiving a physical copy, but it won’t be with Skybound. We’ll keep you updated on any future developments.
