The latest patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong is now live in public beta, marking the fourth update from developer Team Cherry. Chief features include an initial Simplified Chinese translation, aimed at improving upon its previously criticized version. Localisation enhancements for various languages, better controller support, and a variety of bug fixes are also part of this update. However, players hoping for a reduction in the game's notorious difficulty will be disappointed as the patch doesn’t ease the challenges. Players can join the beta on Steam by accessing the public beta branch. This follows the recent full release of Version 1.0.28891, which focuses heavily on improving compatibility for DualSense Edge controllers and better overall gameplay experience for Mac users.

What improvements have been made in the latest Hollow Knight: Silksong patch?

The latest patch introduces a Simplified Chinese translation in public beta, localisations across languages, improved controller support including DualSense Edge compatibility, and multiple bug fixes, but does not alter the game's difficulty.

Hollow Knight: Silksong, a highly anticipated sequel to the original Hollow Knight, features a new playable character named Hornet and takes players through a vast new kingdom filled with unique challenges and enemies. The game emphasizes fast-paced combat and exploration, maintaining the series' signature art style and atmospheric storytelling. Fans of the original game have eagerly awaited Silksong, given its previous delays and speculation around its release date.
