The physical Standard Edition manual for "Hollow Knight: Silksong" confirms that the game will receive multiple free content packs and its first major expansion. The physical Standard Edition is scheduled to arrive on November 10, including a user manual, hand-drawn map, and double-sided cover.
Some players who received early copies of the physical edition have shared the manual's contents. The "Content Packs" page states that the game world will continue to expand through free content packs, adding new friends, abilities, and fierce enemies in the future. Since the manual uses plural phrasing, this indicates that there will be more than one batch of free additional content.
The manual also introduces the first major expansion. Players will traverse a salt-eroded ocean filled with mysteries and threats, exploring its underground regions. The final page of the manual features the logo for "Hollow Knight: Silksong – Sea of Sorrows" along with the words "Coming Soon."
When Team Cherry previously announced "Hollow Knight: Silksong – Sea of Sorrows," they targeted a 2026 release, but the physical edition manual does not specify an exact date. This vague wording may be related to the production cycle of physical products or generic copy, so it cannot be taken as evidence that the expansion will be delayed until 2027. The final release date still awaits further announcement from Team Cherry.
