Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/a> post-launch support continues again today with patch version 1.0.28954, now available via the game’s Steam public beta branch.<\/p>\n

This update’s key feature is a “basic implementation” of a new Simplified Chinese translation, following an earlier backlash to the game’s initial Chinese language support<\/a> included at launch that led to a spate of negative Steam reviews, and a subsequent pledge by Silksong developer Team Cherry to improve the feature<\/a>. <\/p>\n

After that blowback, it feels like Silksong developer Team Cherry is taking a cautious approach to the rollout of this fresh translation, with the studio now inviting further feedback from players using the Simplified Chinese translation to provide feedback on its clarity, style and spellings.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Otherwise, Silksong v1.0.28954 includes<\/a> another list of game fixes \u2014 though Team Cherry has said that this list is still a work-in-progress, with more bugs likely set to be squashed before the patch rolls out more widely. <\/p>\n

For now, the update is set to improve controller support on Steam, correct instances where Hornet’s plasmified state was being erroneously cleared, and ensure that Styx always hands over rosaries when given the Queen’s Egg. <\/p>\n

Silksong remains one of the most-played games on Steam following its huge September 4 release. Here are some essential guides for your journey upwards: the Silksong Interactive Map<\/u><\/a>, how to grind for Rosary Beads<\/u><\/a>, our ever-expanding Walkthrough with boss videos and guides<\/u><\/a>, how to get your first life bar upgrade (first four mask shards)<\/u><\/a>, and a great guide to the Simple Keys and the doors they open<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
