Team Cherry will issue the first post-release patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong next week, and has detailed balance changes that will offer some small measure of relief to players who are struggling with the game’s difficulty.
The patch is “primarily focused on bug fixes,” Team Cherry said in a post on Steam, but also offers “some slight balance adjustments in the early game.”
These balance changes include a “slight difficulty reduction” for two early bosses, Moorwing and Sister Splinter. Sandcarver enemies also have their damage reduced.
Team Cherry is also rebalancing the economy of rosary beads — the primary currency in Silksong. Rosary rewards for courier deliveries, relics, and psalm cylinders will be increased, while the Bellway and Bell Bench prices will be reduced slightly.
“Barring any unforeseen issues, we’re aiming to deliver the patch to all players mid next week,” Team Cherry said. But PC players can access the patched version of the game straight away by using the public-beta branch on Steam or GOG.
