Team Cherry has announced the second big update for Hollow Knight: Silksong, which includes a new graphics setting, changes to achievements, and a comprehensive set of bug fixes.
We’ve added a new option to the Advanced video settings called ‘Dithering.’ This feature helps reduce harsh lines between colors, making the picture look smoother. However, it might make details in the foreground appear a little softer. It’s turned off by default, so you can enable it if you like the effect.
The Herald’s Wish achievement has been clarified. Players now need to both fulfill the wish and finish the game to earn it, which should eliminate confusion for those aiming to complete everything.
This update also fixes many different bugs, including problems with enemies appearing in the wrong places and items not working as expected in some game modes. You can find a complete list of changes below.
Do we know when patch 2 goes live?
The game’s second update is now available for testing on Steam, but we don’t have a confirmed date for its official release yet. More improvements are planned before the full version comes out.
