Team Cherry has just dropped patch 1.0.28650 for Hollow Knight: Silksong, bringing a fresh visual option and squashing several pesky bugs that players have encountered since launch.
New Visual Feature Enhances Customization
The standout addition is a dithering effect toggle in the video settings. This retro-inspired filter could give your adventures through the silk-woven kingdom a nostalgic pixelated vibe, perfect for players who love tweaking their game's look to match personal style. It's a subtle but welcome touch that adds more depth to Hollow Knight: Silksong's already stunning art direction.
What's New in This Patch?
Beyond visuals, the update clarifies confusing elements like the Herald's Wish achievement description, making it easier for completionists to track progress without spoilers. Gameplay exploits and softlocks have been patched, ensuring a fairer challenge as you navigate Hornet's perilous journey.
Bug Fixes Improve Overall Experience
Several enemies and mechanics got attention, with fixes for erratic behaviors in foes like the Savage Beastfly and Shrine Guardian Seth. Boss death sequences now trigger reliably, and items such as the Volt Filament and Plasmium Phial function as intended. These changes should reduce frustration during intense combat and exploration sessions, letting you focus on mastering the game's intricate world.
- Resolved softlock in Shaman Binding
- Adjusted Cocoon positions for better accessibility
- Fixed NPC dialogues and memory orb interactions in Verdania
- Corrected break counter and various item exploits
