Silksong Patch 4 Enters Steam Beta With New Chinese Script and Input Overhaul

Early feedback from Chinese players is critical, prompting Team Cherry to pledge refinements before a full release.

Overview

  • Team Cherry published Patch 4 to Silksong’s Steam public-beta branch as update 1.0.28954 featuring a basic Simplified Chinese translation for public testing.
  • The studio says the new script is a work in progress to be revised based on community reports, with display issues expected during the beta phase.
  • Initial player reactions in China are largely negative, with complaints centered on renamed places and NPCs and concerns over readability.
  • Developers switched the game to Unity’s Input System to broaden controller support, enabling rumble and recognizing more devices.
  • Gameplay changes include a buff to Multibinder that clears Muckmaggots and a fix to its unintended long bind time with the Shaman crest, plus bug fixes for Hornet’s plasmified state and Styx rosary rewards.
