Silksong Physical Edition Booklet Hints at More Free DLC Beyond Sea of Sorrow

Players who received early copies of the physical edition shared photos of the 32-page manual, which includes a Content Packs section. It reads: “The world of Hollow Knight: Silksong will expand with free content packs. Prepare for even more adventures filled with new friends, new abilities, and new ferocious foes!” The wording suggests the free content packs may be separate from Sea of Sorrow, which is itself free for all players. Team Cherry has not formally announced any DLC beyond Sea of Sorrow, and the booklet names no dates and no second expansion.

Sea of Sorrow remains without a release date. Team Cherry announced the expansion in December 2025 as a free, nautically themed expansion with new areas, bosses and tools, with a 2026 window. The booklet describes it only as coming soon. With 2026 nearly over, the date is still unannounced.

The physical edition is out this week from Fangamer, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2, at $39 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox and $45 for Switch

2. Each copy includes the 32-page manual and a poster. The PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 versions ship from November 10, and the Xbox version follows on November

27. Sea of Sorrow will not be stored on the disc or cartridge. It will arrive as a separate free download.

The hint fits Team Cherry's record with the first Hollow Knight, which received four substantial post-launch DLC packs, all free. Silksong launched September 4, 2025, peaked at nearly 600,000 concurrent players on Steam, and won Best Action/Adventure at The Game Awards.

Nothing beyond Sea of Sorrow is confirmed yet. The booklet points to more free content, but Team Cherry has said nothing about what comes after it or when.
