Hollow Knight: Silksong just got its first post-release patch last week — one which actually nerfed the difficulty of a few early game bosses — but Team Cherry is almost ready to put out a second one.
This time around, however, it’s all about bug fixes (haaa…) and tweaks to Tools. Sharing the details on Steam, the developer has detailed what these entail, with many of them focusing on enemies accidentally going out-of-bounds and certain Tools not doing the right amount of damage or not working as intended.
While fans should “Expect a few more additions and tweaks before full release”, for now, it looks like this patch will be forgoing any more difficulty tweaks. That’s not to say Team Cherry won’t add any more later down the line, of course, but for now, things are staying as they are.
Currently, there’s not a release date for the patch, but we imagine it’ll drop in the next week or two.
If you’re curious, here are the current patch notes:
