Are you still a fan of collecting physical games? Digital is slowly taking over, but sometimes it's nice to have a hard copy of a game you've been looking forward to, or that you really enjoy. Typically digital only, some indie games have been getting special disc releases, and in collaboration with Fangamer, Team Cherry has revealed that Hollow Knight will be following this trend.
Yes, you'll be able to pick up a physical copy of your favourite bug-filled Metroidvania, and it's available to pre-order now. There are two versions up for grabs: the first, pictured above, is the standard edition, which comes with the game, a manual, and a fold-out map of Hallownest. However, if you're a Hollow Knight fanatic, you may be interested in the Collector's Edition:
This special version of the game includes everything in the regular release, along with a metal brooch, a Quirrel comic book, and a set of gold foil art prints, all packed in a fancy box. If you pre-order this version, you'll get a cute paper craft set thrown in too.
Both editions won't ship until 31st May, so there's plenty of time to put your name down. Will you be picking up a physical version of Hollow Knight? Head down into the depths in the comments below.

Unnecessary landfill
yes more of this.
let the big devs know that physical media is here to stay!
I'm not usually one for collected editions but i may just get this even though i already have a digital copy.
@kyleforrester87 we all know if this was FFIX or Spider-man you'd be all over it ๐
@MightyDemon82 thatโs..half true ๐
I like the cover art they used.
Nice and simplistic. Not like Moss's box art, which is covered with review scores.
Pretty cool considering that the developer said they won't be releasing a physical edition a few months ago. Also, I tried the Amazon link but it's not available for pre-order, yet.
Edit: Seems like it's exclusive to the finagler site only.
Ordered, been waiting for physical copy for this.
Bought it digitally on Switch already but...gotta get the collectors edition of this. This is probably my favorite game in the last decade.
I'm not much of a ranked list guy but Hollow Knight would likely be in my top ten of favorite games ever. I already bought it digitally and am not interested in collecting more stuff so I'm passing here. But as far as special editions go, this set is , um, special.
That will sit nicely beside my copy of Axiom Verge Multiverse Edition. And unlike that game, it is a good thing that I didn't buy Hollow Knight in 3 different platforms already, before the physical version is released
Was not expecting this........going to have to pick this up
Wasn't an earlier announcement revoked because of unforeseen challenges in making a physical release??
@WanderingBullet Yup the physical edition is a FanGamer exclusive.
