Hollow Knight: Silksong has garnered loads of praise since it launched. We absolutely loved it in our network review, but since the release of the game, some players have found the difficulty a bit high.
As modders keep trying to make the difficulty more like the original Hollow Knight, Team Cherry has given us the patch notes for the game's next update. Patch 1.0.28470 launches across all platforms mid next week, and is available in the beta branch on Steam or GOG right now. Largely, the patch focuses on fixing bugs, but it also looks to tweak some balancing issues.
The Moorwing and Sister Splinter bosses have had their difficulty reduced, you'll take less damage from Sandcarvers, and Rosaries are a bit easier to find and collect by the looks of things. You can see the full patch notes below if you want to dig through exact wordings, but it seems player voices have been heard, and the game will become a little easier.
