Following the release of the first patch, which adjusted the difficulty and fixed several errors across all platforms, Team Cherry has already set a date for the second update of Hollow Knight: Silksong. This time, the studio won’t be touching the gameplay balance, but it will add a new visual option along with multiple important fixes.

The second patch is already in public testing for PC and will arrive soon on consoles, including Xbox, where the game has been available since day one on Xbox Game Pass.

What’s new in Hollow Knight: Silksong’s patch 2

The big news is the incorporation of a brand-new graphical setting: the “dithering” effect, which helps reduce “color banding” (visible color bands in gradients), although it may slightly soften the appearance of foreground elements. This will be an optional setting within the advanced video configurations.

• New graphical option: “dithering” effect to reduce color banding in gradients (optional in the advanced video menu).

• Achievement “Herald’s Wish”: its description now clarifies that it’s necessary to complete the wish and finish the game.

• Fixes for bosses and enemies:

  • Savage Beastfly no longer gets stuck under the lava.

  • Shrine Guardian Seth and other enemies no longer exit the combat boundaries.

  • Reduced instances of Silk Snippers getting stuck outside the screen.

• Death sequence errors: fixed issues when dying at the same time as defeating a boss.

• Fixed blockages: softlock when using Shaman Binding and some transitions are now resolved.

• Object and ability adjustments:

  • Flea Brew and Plasmium Phial now correctly restore at banks.

  • Volt Filament now correctly applies its damage multiplier in Silk Skills.

• NPC and dialogue improvements: fixed errors in “cursed hint” dialogues in specific situations.

• Other minor adjustments: improvements to memory orbs, visual effects, collisions, and multi-hit tools like Conchcutter.

Additionally, update 2 includes fixes for achievements, collision issues, and specific situations in boss battles where some enemies would exit the boundaries or not respond as expected. Rare blockages, object restoration errors, and NPC dialogue errors have also been resolved.

With this second update, Hollow Knight: Silksong continues to polish details before future content that the studio has already promised for the coming months. The Xbox and Game Pass community can expect a more stable title with visual quality improvements that are appreciated in long gaming sessions.
