Team Cherry has detailed what it intends to be the last “significant” update for Hollow Knight: Silksong before the game’s Sea of Sorrow expansion.
Along with bug fixes and such, this patch also adds two major language updates. First off, Traditional Chinese is now available in Silksong. Team Cherry assured it has worked closely with translators to “ensure lore accuracy throughout”, while also co-ordinating with the Simplified Chinese team for “consistency on critical elements between the versions”. In addition, Silksong’s German script has had some tweaks.
Version 1.0.29926, to give it its full name, is already live for Silksong players on PC platforms, but will be coming to consoles “soon”. You can check out the full patch notes below:

On its release, we awarded Silksong five stars. “Pretty and charmingly mean-spirited, this is a game filled with revelations and genuine personality,” reads Eurogamer’s Silksong review.
