Silksong’s last major patch is here to prep for Sea of Sorrow [News]
Key Takeaways: The Quick Answer
- Patch 5 (1.0.29926) is currently live on PC and rolling out to consoles soon.
- The update focuses on extensive bug fixes and adds a highly requested Traditional Chinese localization.
- This serves as the final major patch before the anticipated Sea of Sorrow free expansion arrives later in 2026.
Patch 5 Preps Silksong for Its Biggest Expansion
Team Cherry has released Patch 5 for Hollow Knight: Silksong, bringing the game to version 1.0.29926.
The update is currently available for PC players on Steam and GOG, with the console version expected to follow shortly.
According to the official developer notes, this is intended to be the last significant technical update before the launch of Sea of Sorrow, a major expansion planned for a 2026 release.
Critical Fixes and Localization Updates
A primary highlight of version 1.0.29926 is the addition of Traditional Chinese localization. Team Cherry collaborated closely with translators to ensure lore consistency across all Chinese language versions.
The German script also received a significant overhaul. To better align with the tone of the original Hollow Knight, various narrative elements and area names have been updated for improved clarity and consistency with the English source text.
On the technical side, several “out-of-bounds” bugs have been resolved. These fixes prevent Hornet and specific enemies from getting stuck outside of the playable environment during combat encounters.

Balance Changes and the Road to 2026
The patch introduces several balance tweaks to improve the gameplay experience:
- The Last Judge: The boss’s death explosion damage has been reduced from 3 to 2.
- Magma Bell: This tool now correctly provides protection against all fire-type explosions.
- Savage Beastfly: Minions now despawn immediately upon the boss’s defeat.
These refinements set the stage for the Sea of Sorrow expansion. While specific plot details remain sparse, the expansion will be free for all players and features a new sea-themed setting.
