A discussion recently flared up about the excessive difficulty of Hollow Knight: Silksong. Players complained about the high barrier to entry, and the game's authors will make changes. A patch has already been announced, which will be released next week.
Patch 1.0.28487, which will be released next week, will reduce the difficulty of the initial bosses Moorwing and Sister Splinter, reduce damage from Sandcarvers enemies, and reduce prices for Bellway and Bell Bench. It will also increase rewards for Relics and Psalm Cylinders.
Along with this, the game will include fixes for bugs with battles in the Boat Docks, enemies getting stuck, incorrect tool operation, and other errors. All changes will be retroactive, so players will be able to continue the passage if they were previously blocked by a bug.
The update is already available in the Steam and GOG public beta. The developers emphasized that another patch (1.0.28497) will be released soon, focusing on refining the balance and fixing errors in the early game.
