Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch 2 Hits Steam Public Beta With Extensive Fixes, Console Rollout Pending

The second post-launch update prioritizes bug resolution over difficulty changes, with a finalized build approaching.

Overview

  • Team Cherry has deployed Patch 2 to the Steam public-beta branch as version 1.0.28626 for players to test.
  • The update adds a Dithering effect option in Advanced video settings to reduce color banding by design, and it revises the Herald’s Wish achievement description for clarity.
  • Developers list numerous stability and gameplay fixes, including remedies for out-of-bounds enemies, softlocks, and NPC dialogue issues.
  • Specific corrections address cases like Savage Beastfly remaining below lava, Shrine Guardian Seth exiting the arena, Lugoli failing to return, and a Shaman Binding transition softlock.
  • No date is set for the full rollout; outlets report a likely PC release soon, with PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch updates to follow after certification.
