Hollow Knight Silksong patch notes: Difficulty reduction, bug fixes, and more

Hollow Knight Silksong is set to receive its first patch, and the notes reveal difficulty reductions for two bosses specifically. Silksong had already broken Steam and other gaming platforms on release, and managed to have more than half a million peak player count. The popularity aside, one of the pressing problems with Silksong has been its difficulty, with many players saying the game was too tough.

To address some of these, Hollow Knight Silksong's patch 1.0.28470 patch reduces the difficulty of Moorwing and Sister Splinter, two of the early-game bosses. Other than that, several other bug fixes are also being addressed in this patch.
