Skybound Games has confirmed on Twitter that it is no longer partnering with Team Cherry to launch a physical version of Hollow Knight.

No reason was given for the cancellation of the retail version, although a separate post from Team Cherry has indicated it may have come down to lack of resources. Hollow Knight is currnetly available for PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One as a digital download.

'As a team of 3 people still in intensive production of Hollow Knight, taking the game into the retail space (even with the extensive assistance of Skybound) proved more work than we could reasonably manage,' said Team Cherry. 'In future [sic] we will investigate other ways to deliver physical versions of Hollow Knight, though likely that will be in smaller quantities.'
