The next platform Hollow Knight will be available on is Nintendo Switch. But back in May the developer said it could take anywhere from six to twelve months to get finished. Back in January Team Cherry announced they'd be cancelling the Wii U version of the game.

Unfortunately the above patch has been delayed on Mac, but Team Cherry has promised the delay will be a short one so expect it to arrive on Mac very soon.

Hollow Knight is available now on PC, Mac, and Linux. The game will arrive on Nintendo Switch at a later date.
