The highly anticipated Hollow Knight: The Sanctuary mod has received a new development update, giving Hollow Knight fans hope it might be coming relatively soon. While Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight has become massively successful since its 2017 release, fans have taken it upon themselves to add even more content to the game through various mods.

These Hollow Knight mods can take many forms, with some altering boss fights and others adding new skins and even English voice acting. In addition, some add brand-new areas and fights to the world. Among these is the in-development Hollow Knight: The Sanctuary, an ambitious mod announced in 2021. Helmed by The Sanctuary Team, the modders look to create an expansion brimming with new content, including an original area, fresh music, and much more. Unsurprisingly, many fans of the original game were excited by the prospects of this new unofficial DLC. While little news about the project has been heard over the past few years, the mod recently received an encouraging update.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Gets Puzzling Update

The latest update for Hollow Knight: Silksong has left some fans of the franchise scratching their heads.

As spotted by GamesRadar+, news about Hollow Knight: The Sanctuary has appeared online. Thanks to a series of tweets from Stizzl, one of the leading modders, fans can take solace in knowing the project is still alive and in development. “A secret, well-kept over the years: The Sanctuary is alive,” the modder said. In addition, they shared a brief clip of the mod’s gameplay, with the Knight fighting several enemies in the new area.

Hollow Knight: The Sanctuary Mod is Still in Development

Besides confirming the mod’s continued existence, a call for playtesters was made. Thanks to the enduring popularity of Hollow Knight, these positions were filled quickly, with Stizzl thanking the community for its continued support. While not everyone could become a playtester due to limited spots, the modder promised that more news about The Sanctuary would be coming in the weeks ahead.

This development update for The Sanctuary has excited many fans, some of whom had started to doubt the project was still alive. Among the enthusiastic responses, Matthew Griffen, in charge of marketing and publishing for Hollow Knight: Silksong, shared Stizzl’s original tweet and revealed his excitement about the “epic” mod.

With The Sanctuary mod getting this encouraging update, it remains to be seen whether it will be released before Hollow Knight: Silksong. Team Cherry’s sequel has similarly been largely shrouded in mystery until recently. While the game is still without a concrete release date, a Nintendo Switch 2 Direct revealed a 2025 launch window for Hollow Knight: Silksong, meaning the long wait for that game could be nearing an end. Regardless of which comes first, Hollow Knight fans have lots to look forward to in the coming months.
