- Hollow Knight: Silksong’s latest patch is now in public beta
- It includes work in progress on translation into simplified Chinese.
- The new translation will replace the one that was criticized by Chinese-speaking players.
Hollow Knight: Song of SilkIt is The latest patch is now available via the game’s Steam public beta branch, and it looks to improve the launch build’s poor Simplified Chinese translation while also bringing a host of other fixes.
For context, the launch version’s simplified Chinese translation sparked frustration among Chinese-speaking players, with some players suggesting the game “reads like a Wuxia novel.” In response, developer Team Cherry promised improvements.
The first implementation of these improvements appears to be here now, as of patch 1.0.28954. In the Steam patch notes, Team Cherry emphasizes that it has only included a “basic implementation” of its new Simplified Chinese translation. But it encourages Chinese-speaking players to provide feedback, “whether it’s clarity, style, spelling or otherwise,” via a bug report form.
Aside from the introduction of the new Simplified Chinese translation, this is a fairly small patch overall. The full patch notes, according to the game’s Steam page, are as follows:
- Simplified Chinese translation updated with new script for public testing. This is only a basic implementation, to refine and update based on player feedback.
- Various localization fixes implemented in all languages
- Switched to Unity’s input system to improve overall controller support. This includes rumble features that now work for various controllers and additional recognized controllers. Some problems may remain.
- Fixed Styx not giving beads when delivering the Queen’s Egg.
- Fixed Druid Eyes sometimes not equipping correctly when first acquired.
- Fixed some down attack colliders getting stuck in rare cases.
- Fixed several cases of the Hornet’s plasmified state being erased when it was not intended (e.g. traveling to Bellway).
- Fixed issues entering the Plasmium state by killing a Winged Life Seed, rather than using the Plasmium Vial.
- Reduced unintentionally long binding time when using Multibinder with the Shaman Crest.
- Updated Multibinder’s initial binding to remove maggots, based on community feedback.
- Various small adjustments and fixes.
