Team Cherry
Team Cherry is a small Australian studio that self-publishes everything it makes. This page collects what it has actually shipped, what it has announced, and where the line between those two sits.
Team Cherry is a small studio in Adelaide, South Australia. It made Hollow Knight, then spent years making Hollow Knight: Silksong, and it publishes its own games — Steam lists the studio as both developer and publisher.
That last detail explains more about the studio than it first appears to. With no publisher setting dates, Team Cherry announces things when they are ready to be announced and stays quiet otherwise. The gap between the 2019 Fearless Fox trademark and any word about it is unusual by industry standards and entirely ordinary by this studio’s.
What is shipped, and verifiable
Silksong released on 4 September 2025. Its Steam listing gives Windows, macOS and Linux support and categorises it as Action, Adventure and Indie. A separate paid listing carries the official soundtrack — 53 orchestral tracks by Christopher Larkin, and, as of August 2026, the only DLC entry attached to Silksong on Steam.
That last point does real work on this site: it means the announced expansion has no Steam page yet, and so no machine-readable confirmation of its platforms or timing exists.
The 2026 announcements and subsequent releases
Sea of Sorrow was announced in December 2025 as a free, nautically themed Silksong expansion for 2026. In its 16 March 2026 Patch 5 update, Team Cherry still described it as upcoming, without giving a specific release date.
The Hollow Knight Nintendo Switch 2 Edition announced alongside it has since shipped. Team Cherry announced its availability on 5 February 2026, along with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. The post describes higher frame-rates, higher resolutions and additional effects, and free upgrades for existing Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox players.
What is neither
Fearless Fox is a trademark. It has been one since 2019. It has never been announced, described, dated or connected to anything the studio has shipped.

Sea of Sorrow and Switch 2 edition announced

Frequently asked questions
Is Team Cherry self-published?
Yes. Steam lists Team Cherry as both developer and publisher of Silksong. That independence is part of why the studio's release timing has historically been difficult for anyone outside it to predict.
What has Team Cherry announced for 2026?
The December 2025 post announced the free Sea of Sorrow expansion for Silksong and a Hollow Knight Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The latter was released in February 2026 alongside PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. The March Patch 5 post still described Sea of Sorrow as upcoming, without a specific release date.
Is Fearless Fox one of those plans?
Team Cherry has not said so. The trademark predates the post by six years, and the post does not mention it. The two are frequently connected by readers and never by the studio.
