Team Cherry has detailed the upcoming Hollow Knight Silksong Patch 1.0.28470, which is scheduled to arrive across all platforms next week. While PC players can already access the patch through the public beta branch on Steam and GOG, console players will receive it once the update goes live. The patch primarily focuses on bug fixes but also includes balance adjustments to make the early game smoother.
Key changes include fixes to progression-blocking issues such as the Infestation Operation and Beast in the Bells wishes, alongside improvements to courier deliveries and various battle mechanics. On the balance side, early bosses like Moorwing and Sister Splinter have been slightly toned down, while rosary rewards from relics, psalm cylinders, and courier deliveries have been increased to encourage progression.
