Hollow Knight, which was planned to launch in 2017 on Nintendo Switch, has been pushed back to early 2018.

In a blog update by Team Cherry, the developers explained that they needed more time to make Hollow Knight “a great port” on Nintendo Switch rather than an “okay port”.

As a bonus the optimizations Team Cherry are working on for the Switch port will be implemented on other platforms the game is currently on, such as PC and Mac.
