Hey, Daily Quest readers.Team Cherry just pulled the ultimate ninja drop during Nintendo's Partner Direct: Hollow Knight Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is LIVE RIGHT NOW on eShop, with a completely free upgrade for anyone owning the original Switch version! This isn't your average port – it's packed with Silksong-level enhancements like high frame rates, cranked resolutions, and juicy graphical effects that make those nail-biting boss dashes feel godlike. After Silksong's award-sweeping triumph (despite the sweat-fest difficulty), this is the perfect excuse to plunge back into Hallownest – especially since Nintendo usually charges $5–$20 for these upgrades. We're breaking down the glow-up, why it's a massive W for indies, and peeking at Silksong's Sea of Sorrow incoming. Switch 2 owners, fire up your eShop – your knight's waiting!
