Team Cherry Unveils Details for Hollow Knight: Silksong's Second Patch

Hollow Knight: Silksong's Next Update Brings Key Fixes and Improvements

Fans eagerly exploring the world of Pharloom in Hollow Knight: Silksong can look forward to a more polished experience soon. Developer Team Cherry has provided an update on the game's second post-launch patch, which is currently available for testing in a Steam beta branch. The full public release of this update is expected in the near future.

This upcoming patch is primarily focused on addressing several minor issues and bugs that players may have encountered since the game's release. Team Cherry aims to enhance the overall stability and visual quality, ensuring that Hornet's adventure is as smooth as possible. Here's a closer look at what the update includes:

• New Dithering Option: A new dithering parameter will be added to the video settings, turned off by default. When enabled, this option helps to reduce color banding and subtly soften the appearance of foreground objects, offering a more refined visual experience.
• Updated Achievement Description: The description for the "Herald's Wish" achievement has been clarified. Players will now need to not only fulfill the wish but also complete their entire playthrough to unlock it.
• Wild Zotefly Fix: An issue that sometimes caused the Wild Zotefly in Deepnest to remain stuck under lava has been resolved.
• Sanctuary Guardian Zote Correction: Rare instances where the Sanctuary Guardian Zote would move outside the combat area during battle have been fixed.
• Simultaneous Death Animation Sync: Bugs related to animation desynchronization when Hornet and a boss simultaneously perish have been corrected.
• Cocoon Placement Adjustment: The placement of cocoons in certain areas has been altered to prevent them from appearing in inaccessible locations.
• Liquid Lacquer Delivery in Steel Soul: The unavailability of Liquid Lacquer courier delivery in "Steel Soul" mode has been fixed.
• Verdania Sphere Visuals: An issue where Verdania spheres sometimes caused multi-layered explosion effects at the edges of the screen has been resolved.

This commitment to post-launch support underscores Team Cherry's dedication to refining Hollow Knight: Silksong. Players can expect these improvements to contribute to an even more immersive and enjoyable journey through the game's intricate world. Hollow Knight: Silksong is available on PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and is also included with Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.
