Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch Brings Major Bug Fixes and Tool Tweaks from Team Cherry

Team Cherry is continuing its post-launch support of Hollow Knight: Silksong, rolling out a second significant update focused on comprehensive bug fixes and essential tweaks to Tools, following last week's patch that adjusted early boss difficulty.

Since its debut, Hollow Knight: Silksong has captured attention on platforms such as Nintendo Switch, Steam, and others, acclaimed for its refined gameplay and atmospheric world.

With the developer’s consistent commitment to quality, the latest patch ensures a smoother and more balanced experience for the game's global player base. In a recent official announcement shared via the Steam community page, Team Cherry outlined the scope of this update.

The developer stated that the patch focuses on correcting out-of-bounds enemy behaviors, resolving Tool damage inconsistencies, and ensuring certain gameplay elements perform as intended.

As the studio explained, "Players can expect numerous fixes concentrating on bugs involving enemies leaving the play area or certain Tools failing to deal the intended damage.

We’re dedicated to refining the core gameplay and eliminating disruptive issues for everyone enjoying Silksong." Unlike the previous update—which addressed early game boss difficulty—this patch specifically avoids any further difficulty adjustments.

Team Cherry emphasized, "No additional changes to difficulty are included in this update, although future patches may revisit balance as needed.

For now, we are prioritizing a stable and polished gameplay experience.” As of this article's publication, there is no specific release date for the patch; it is anticipated to roll out to Hollow Knight: Silksong players on all platforms in the near future. Key highlights from the patch notes include: - The addition of a dithering effect option in advanced video settings, which reduces color banding in visuals. - Clearer Herald's Wish achievement requirements now specified in the achievement description. - Various enemy AI adjustments, such as preventing the Savage Beastfly and Shrine Guardian Seth from moving out of bounds during key battles. - Fixes to certain Tools and abilities, including correcting the damage multiplier for Volt Filament and ensuring the break counter functions correctly for multi-hit tools like the Conchcutter. - Resolving rare softlock scenarios and adjusting cocoon spawn positions to enhance in-game accessibility. - Several tweaks ensuring game progression is not hindered by issues with NPC interactions, item delivery, and save mechanics. Team Cherry’s dedication to the player experience remains evident, as the developer incorporates player feedback and continuous quality assurance into ongoing post-release support.
