Hollow Knight: Silksong

Team Cherry's newest published Silksong update is Patch 5, version 1.0.30000, dated March 16, 2026. At publication, Team Cherry said the patch was live on PC platforms and was coming to consoles. It adds Traditional Chinese localization, substantially refines the German script, allows Silk Soar through top scene exits, and fixes multiple combat and out-of-bounds issues. Team Cherry described Patch 5 as the last significant update planned before the free Hollow Knight: Silksong - Sea of Sorrow expansion, which is planned for 2026 without a published exact release date.

Players control Hornet, a fast and acrobatic hunter whose combat centers on quick needle strikes, aerial movement, evasive positioning, silken abilities, and crafted tools such as weapons, traps, and mechanisms. Exploration takes place across the interconnected kingdom of Pharloom, where new powers open routes through mossy grottos, gilded cities, misted moors, dangerous industrial areas, and other regions. The journey includes quests, secrets, more than 200 enemies, and more than 40 bosses, while Steel Soul mode provides a more demanding challenge after the kingdom is conquered.

Hornet has been captured and brought to Pharloom, far from Hallownest. Her pilgrimage leads upward toward a shining citadel while she investigates why she was taken, meets the kingdom's inhabitants, and uncovers the threat binding the land together.
