Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard about Hollow Knight, Team Cherry's debut game that's been championed since its initial PC release last year. There has been a big fat question mark over whether the game would eventually make its way to PS4, and fortunately, it's bagged a physical version launching in Spring 2019.
The highly acclaimed Metroidvania game starring an underground civilisation of insects is praised for its hand drawn art style, responsive gameplay, and sprawling, mysterious game world. The game is about exploration and quick bouts of combat, and features a Dark Souls-esque system of chasing down your ghost when you die to retrieve your resources. Despite its looks, the game allegedly offers a stiff challenge and a multitude of boss fights to endure.
No further details are known about the physical edition of Hollow Knight, and no mention is made of a digital release, but presumably the game will hit the PlayStation Store alongside the boxed version. We've a little while to wait yet, but it's great that it's finally coming.
Are you excited to play Hollow Knight on PS4? Scuttle down to the comments below.

Port begging eh?
Hmm. Don't know how I feel about this. Still tryna progress on the Switch version, but it doesn't click with me. I fail to see the hype behind it.
I played this on Switch, but I didn't enjoy my (at the moment still short) time with it. I admired the game for sure, but it's an experience I much rather have on PS4. So, I happily wait.
@knuckles-Fajita Can't "port beg" when game is already announced.
@adf86 He's trolling, just ignore it.
So are people going to boycott this since it came out on two other platforms before PS4? I hope not. I'll be honest, at $20 I'll buy this game again just to support the devs. The switch version turned out very well, which surprised me, but they pulled it off. I expect the PS4 version to be even better.
Yeah, where's the port begging? It's literally been announced.
@Knuckles-Fajita We banned someone for pointless comments last week. Just because you added a winky face emoji to the end of yours doesn't mean that it's any different.
Leave it out please.
Like the art style think it will depend how I get on with Dead Cells I enjoyed the couple hours I played of Dead Cells even though I suck at it!
Picked this up on PC ages ago to scratch a metroidvania itch, enjoyed it, but ultimately shelved it in favour of Dead Cells which was just more fun for me.
Nice and good thing that it's coming next year because the coming months are crowded with tons of games
Great news, I was waiting till I got a Switch so I could it physically on there, guess I won't have to.
Glad I held off buying it elsewhere. Shame it's still some time away, but there are loads of other Metroidvania-style games to play in the meantime.
Looks really good, I'll definitely get it. Enjoying Dead Cells until this arrives.
Awesome. Was tempted to get it on the Switch, but think I'll wait.
@ShogunRok so you really banned @ShadowWarrior (I believe that’s how they were called)?
Genuinely asking, I saw the comment section where you said you would but I took as one of your and Sammy’s usual jokes.
I didn’t follow what exactly happened but their last comment seemed pretty harmless to me, surely not something ban-worthy.
I mean, they said something about their Switch, but you’re not banning people for naming a non-Sony console, are you? 😅
I'm currently playing this at the moment on switch, and it's absolutely incredible! £10 for so far 20 hours (and almost certainly a lot more left) of absolutely perfect metroidvania gameplay is a bargain. Anyone on the fence about getting this should take the plunge, you won't regret it!
Awesome! Looking forward to this one 👌
Can't wait to play with with a real controller.
Absolutely loved the game on Switch. I'd recommend anyone who is into Metroidvania-style games to check it out.
Get it fellow gamers. It scratches my insatiable metroidvania itch.
Yes. Really looking forward to playing this game!
I helped Kickstart the game, got it on PC, bought a PC copy for a friend, and then bought it again on Switch. I feel I have adequately supported this great game 😁
Neat game, a physical edition would be good.
@KratosMD This has been on Switch for quite some time now... Go get!
@KratosMD Ah thought you meant you had it on PC already and were awaiting a Switch release... My bad.
an absolutely incredible game, only just behind Ori for the best Metroidvania available, IMO
Nice. I know people feel it's inspired by Dark Souls, but for me it shouts 'Bloodborne' all over. I don't really care about "delays", I'm just happy it will arrive on the PS4 in the first place.
I love the look of this game. Is the game difficult, though?
@clvr
Every comment I saw said, "I'm going get this on the Switch."
Which is spam. Was probably just a spam bot.
I like Metroidvania games a lot and have been hearing wonderful things about Hollow Knight but the art style doesn't really call to me (I don't hate It either). Is this a masterpiece? Should I really, really play it?
i've played this for over 60 hours on the switch and still can't get enough of it. i'll pick up a physical just to support the devs but this is super well suited to hand held play in my view so i'll probably only ever play on switch.
