The release of Hollow Knight Silksong is fast approaching, and Team Cherry has dropped some handsome rewards, especially for Nintendo Switch players. Players who play on Nintendo Switch will be able to unlock enhanced features on the platform. Here’s all you need to know, and what Team Cherry has to say about it.
What Enhanced Features Will Be Available At Launch?
With the release of Hollow Knight Silksong and the Switch 2, players will be able to download the Silksong Upgrade Pack from the eShop, to unlock special features specifically for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. According to Team Cherry,
“For Nintendo Switch 2 players, after redeeming your Nintendo Switch key and downloading the game, you will additionally need to download the (free) Hollow Knight: Silksong Upgrade Pack from the eShop to unlock the platform’s enhanced features,”
These features include a 120Hz mode for the game, which means you can play the game at a higher frame rate at the cost of resolution. However, the cost is slight because better game performance, coupled with the high anticipation of the game, can lead to Hollow Knight Silksong winning game of the year, and I feel it is highly possible given what was already shown from the trailer and the demo at Gamescom this year.
Hollow Knight Silksong’s 120Hz Mode
I want to stress the importance of this particular enhanced feature Team Cherry is dropping with the Switch 2 release of the game. Hollow Knight is a 2D action-adventure game that will have a 120Hz mode available for Switch players, and this could potentially lead to Silksong winning game of the year at any award show coming up at the end of the year. This would help check off all factors that could nominate it for game of the year. Players are already hyped for the game, considering the reception at Gamescom, and I will definitely enjoy the game at release this Thursday!
