Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch Two Update: Team Cherry Addresses Bugs and Tweaks on PC Beta Branch

Team Cherry continues its commitment to refining Hollow Knight: Silksong with a forthcoming patch, offering a fresh wave of improvements for players eagerly awaiting the full release.

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated follow-up to the acclaimed Metroidvania Hollow Knight, has been the subject of much anticipation and debate since its announcement.

Building on the standard set by its predecessor, Team Cherry's latest patch targets crucial bug fixes and gameplay tweaks on the PC beta branch, stepping away from intense community discussion surrounding the title's notorious difficulty. In a detailed update shared to the Steam community forums, Team Cherry outlined the scope of this second major patch, which is currently accessible to those playing on PC’s beta branch.

While console players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox must wait for the official rollout, PC users can already experience these enhancements firsthand.

Importantly, the developer confirmed, “There will be a few more additions and tweaks before the full release,” indicating a continued dedication to quality ahead of the game’s wide launch via platforms like the Nintendo eShop and respective console storefronts. Key highlights from the Silksong patch two notes include: - Introduction of a Dithering effect option in Advanced video settings, intended to reduce color banding with minimal impact on visual clarity. - Adjusted the Herald’s Wish achievement description, bringing precise clarity to its completion requirements. - Resolved several gameplay bugs, such as issues with enemy positioning (e.g., Savage Beastfly in Far Fields and Shrine Guardian Seth), preventing characters from moving out of bounds or otherwise acting improperly during battles. - Addressed rare softlock scenarios, such as Shaman Binding interactions and cocoon placements in previously inaccessible areas. - Fixed delivery incompatibility of Liquid Lacquer courier in Steel Soul mode as well as various non-playable character (NPC) dialogue and memory orb interactions. - Enhanced combat consistency by correcting break counter behavior for multi-hit tools, Silk Skill effect applications, and enemy targeting logic (e.g., Cogflies and Wisps). - Applied quality-of-life fixes, such as proper restoration with Plasmium Phial and Flea Brew at benches, and several other minor improvements to ensure a smoother gameplay experience. These updates reflect Team Cherry’s meticulous approach to game development and their ongoing dialogue with the player community.

With Hollow Knight: Silksong’s continued presence on must-watch lists for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers, each update brings the game closer to fruition while maintaining excitement and high expectations among its vocal fanbase. Although the current patch is exclusive to the PC beta branch, the finalized version will reach console platforms—including the widely popular Nintendo Switch—following further adjustments.

The incremental, transparent updates from Team Cherry highlight the developer’s commitment to releasing a polished, user-centric game on all major hardware platforms. As Hollow Knight: Silksong’s development nears completion, fans can look forward to additional tweaks and possibly more platform-specific enhancements before the official release.

For now, the latest patch underlines a focus on stability and performance, setting the stage for what could be one of the most eagerly anticipated Metroidvania launches on Nintendo Switch and beyond.
