Team Cherry has revealed details of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s first patch, which will make the early game a little easier.
That will be welcome news to those playing the game, as it’s proven to be extremely challenging. And not just for its trick bench.
In particular, a couple of early bosses will have “slight difficulty reduction”, on top of other enemies receiving damage reduction, and some increases in rosary rewards.
