7 Best Games Like Silksong to Play While You Wait for Sea of Sorrows

Team Cherry announced Sea of Sorrows, a DLC expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong, with a targeted 2026 release. With only four months remaining in the year, fans are bracing for potential delays, given Silksong’s own development history—the game was originally planned as downloadable content for the original Hollow Knight before expanding into a full standalone sequel.

Polygon has compiled a list of seven games across multiple genres to occupy players during the anticipated wait. The recommendations include Blue Fire, a 3D metroidvania platformer available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One, alongside other titles designed to appeal to Silksong fans. The curated selection spans various platforms and gameplay styles, acknowledging both the diversity of the playerbase and the uncertainty surrounding the actual release window for Sea of Sorrows.
