Silksong’s last big patch
Team Cherry pushed Patch 5 (v1.0.29926) to Hollow Knight: Silksong on PC as the studio’s final “significant” update before the free Sea of Sorrow expansion; the patch adds broader language support, bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and Sea of Sorrow promises a new zone and new bosses. ( )
Version 1.0.29926 (the Patch 5 build) has been deployed to PC players and Team Cherry says the same build will arrive on consoles “soon,” listing the precise build number in its release notes. (teamcherry.com.au) Traditional Chinese localization was added with the script provided by craft (indienova), and Team Cherry coordinated that work with Team Cart Fix (the Simplified Chinese team) to keep key lore and names consistent across Chinese versions. (teamcherry.com.au) Silksong’s German script received an overhaul led by translator Tobias Gut, who worked to clarify narrative elements and better align tone with the original Hollow Knight text. (teamcherry.com.au) Patch 5’s gameplay tweaks include allowing Silk Soar through top-scene exits, reducing the Last Judge’s death-explosion damage from 3 to 2, and changing Magma Bell so it now protects against all fire-type explosions. (teamcherry.com.au) Several boss- and enemy-related bugs were targeted: fixes stop enemies (Thread Rakers, Wood Wasp colliders, Lavalugs) and bosses (Shrine Guardian Seth, Lace/Cradle, Savage Beastfly) from getting stuck or behaving oddly, and Savage Beastfly’s summoned minions now die when the boss does. (teamcherry.com.au) Sea of Sorrow — announced in Team Cherry’s December 15, 2025 holiday update — is confirmed as a free, nautically themed expansion adding new areas, bosses and tools and is scheduled to arrive sometime in 2026.
