Team Cherry's patch reduces early boss difficulty and fixes bugs to improve gameplay, with increased rosary rewards and price adjustments in mid-game areas.
- Team Cherry announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong will receive its first post-release patch, version 1.0.28470, set for mid-next week around September 17, 2025.
- The patch follows widespread player criticism over the game’s difficulty, particularly brutal runbacks and tough early bosses, which led Team Cherry to act swiftly on feedback.

- The patch aims to ease player struggles with difficulty and economy issues while Team Cherry works on further fixes in a second update scheduled later without a confirmed date.
