Team Cherry’s Matthew Griffin replied to a May rumor about Sea of Sorrow

On 4 May 2026, talk of the Sea of Sorrow expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong flared up again. The add-on was announced in December 2025, and by May about eight months had passed since the sequel launched. This is not a date from the studio. It is a reading of one reply on X.

On 2 May, Hollow Shads wrote that reliable sources put Sea of Sorrow in that month. At 8:05 on 3 May, Matthew Griffin, Team Cherry’s head of publishing, answered the post with nothing but an eyes emoji. The reply carries no date and no direct confirmation.

For a game that was already among the highest-rated releases of 2025, even that gesture gets read as a possible window before the end of May. For now it is a reaction to someone else’s post, not Team Cherry’s calendar.
