Hollow Knight: Silksong has recently launched a significant update, version 1.0.28891, which brings much-needed improvements to the game. This story is particularly notable as it follows only three months after the game hit a jaw dropping milestone of 5 million players. Like their previous TCRPG release, it’s been highly rated on Steam and has a 4.3-star score on Google Reviews. It hopes to improve that player experience even further!
The latest patch corrects multiple in-game problems and adds support for customization through the new DualSense Edge controller. Players can experience a more immersive gaming experience with their controller, enhancing gameplay engagement to new heights. The developers listened to feedback and made a lot of other big improvements, so players will experience a lot fewer technical issues.
Key Improvements and Fixes
In addition to the larger changes, the update adds significant quality of life improvements to gameplay mechanics and bug fixes. One big area of success has been the resolution of concerns around the Eva Hunter Crest improvements. This improvement stops the accidental clearing of tool equips that had been accidentally angering users. This change should make the player’s upgrading journey much clearer and simpler.
It was this Harpoon functionality that blew our mind. Plus, we added some protections so players only ever receive one Silk rather than two in unusual cases. Such fixes are important for upholding the balance and integrity of the game, but there’s more to it.
The patch fixes a soft-lock that was happening on the Grand Gate opening cutscene. This bug especially inconvenienced players who toured the Citadel as it left some bellshrines unavailable. The original issue has been fixed by the developers, letting players move through the game with less hiccups.

Gameplay Enhancements and Bug Resolutions
Additional polish improvements are all about fixing local bugs like Cogflies that would show up in the wrong place after a scene transition. We know the update has resolved the issue. It prevents the active amount of Cogflies from being incorrectly decreased in edge cases.
The second major fix was centered around Seth, a character who occasionally went out of bounds and didn’t come back. This final update makes sure that players can connect with him like they were supposed to, greatly improving the game’s narrative flow.
The damage scaling on Rune Rage has been changed. It’s now in line with other Silk Skills to create a more consistent and improved combat experience for players. Fine Pins drops have been through a major overhaul. Their drop rate has doubled from 50% to 100%, but now you need to gather more of them to see the reward.
Community Response and Future Outlook
The community has been very positive about the update, and we’re excited that developers are really getting on board with making quality gameplay a priority. Beyond just adding unfair levels, the quick stakeholder response to player feedback shows the clear commitment to upholding an excellent quality for this treasured analog classic.
With Hollow Knight: Silksong continuing to garner acclaim and a growing player base, future updates are highly anticipated. Players are eager to see how developers will build upon this foundation and what new features might be introduced in upcoming patches.
