Team Cherry has released Patch 1.0.28497 for Hollow Knight: Silksong, bringing a host of bug fixes and gameplay improvements. This update addresses issues that caused progression blockers, such as late-game wishes not being completable, enemies going out of bounds, and Hornet becoming stuck after specific combat interactions. Several technical fixes have also been implemented to smooth out player movement, deliveries, and tool behavior.
Beyond bug fixes, the patch introduces gameplay balance adjustments. Early-game bosses Moorwing and Sister Splinter have received slight difficulty reductions, while Sandcarvers now deal less damage. Rewards have also been adjusted, with rosary payouts increased from relics, psalm cylinders, and courier deliveries, while some prices for Bellway and Bell Benches have been slightly reduced. These changes aim to make progression more rewarding and balanced.
