Team Cherry has been gradually churning out the updates for Hollow Knight: Silksong since it launched last year, and now, the game's getting one "last significant update" before the arrival of Sea of Sorrow.
As shared in a recent blog post from the devs, 'Patch 5' launched on PC earlier this week, with a console release "coming soon". The big additions this time around are the implementations of Traditional Chinese and German language options, but there is a boatload of tweaks and fixes to check out, too.
