Hollow Knight

Traditional Chinese translation was added to Hollow Knight, giving the game its most visible player-facing addition. The March 27 update also corrected Radiance’s orb attack hitbox and several combat, progression, journal, and audio issues.

• Localization: Traditional Chinese support was added.
• Combat and progression: The March 27 update fixed Radiance’s orb attack hitbox lingering too long, prevented Infected Balloons from pushing Mawlurks, stopped players from damaging underground Mantis Traitors, corrected Baldur Shell’s lingering effect, fixed Heavy Fool’s dash distance, and preserved overcharmed notches correctly.
• Interface, journal, and audio: The update fixed wide square key-binding alignment, restored missing “New Journal Entry” pop-ups and Journal notification icons, corrected some Hunter’s note kill awards, lowered the chance of inventory audio playing too quietly, and fixed an incorrectly doubled damage sound.

Hollow Knight’s February 2026 update added 21:9 and 16:10 resolution support and broadened controller compatibility through the Unity Input System. It also delivered focused combat tuning and fixed the City of Tears Grub room softlock, making it a technical and gameplay-focused update rather than a new story or area expansion.

• Display and controls: Added support for 21:9 and 16:10 resolutions, upgraded to the Unity Input System while retaining the original system through Advanced Settings, and added dithering options to reduce colour banding.
• Combat tuning: Reduced Grey Prince Zote’s stagger bounce height, deactivated Salubra’s Blessing after reaching maximum Soul, and updated Sly’s Great Slash collider to match its visuals.
• Exploration and menus: Made Hollow Knight’s map panning smoother and paused gameplay while inventory menus were open.
• Stability: Fixed the softlock in the City of Tears Grub room and included additional performance improvements and smaller tweaks.

Cross-platform Steam Cloud saves arrived in Hollow Knight, connecting save syncing across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The rollout also documented the one-time in-game upload trigger, backup precautions, and recovery steps for conflicts or missing files.

• Cross-platform cloud saves: Hollow Knight added Steam Cloud support across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Save synchronization: Players had to open their save files in-game once to trigger the Steam Cloud upload, with backup instructions provided beforehand.
• Conflict recovery: Steam Cloud guidance covered conflicting saves, careful keep-or-overwrite choices, and manual download options for missing files.

Hollow Knight: Godmaster arrived as the game’s fourth free Content Pack, adding a substantial new challenge for returning players. It introduced new characters and quests, along with hidden secrets and battles against Hallownest’s gods.

• Free content drop: Hollow Knight: Godmaster released for PC, Mac, and Linux as a free expansion available to all players.
• New adventures: Godmaster introduced all-new characters and quests within Hollow Knight’s world.
• Combat and discovery: Godmaster added new secrets to uncover and an “incredible battle against the gods” for a place among Hallownest’s gods.

The Grimm Troupe arrived in Hallownest, adding a sinister ritual, new foes, Grimm’s clan, four Charms, and new boss fights. Hidden Dreams also expanded the adventure with two boss encounters, a hidden Stag Station, the Dream Gate, and new music for its battles.

• The Grimm Troupe: The Nightmare Lantern summoned the troupe to Hallownest, where players joined its twisted ritual, met new characters offering special services, fought smaller troupe enemies, and faced a dark new foe and a twisted scarlet spectre.
• Hidden Dreams: The DLC introduced two optional boss encounters, uncovered a hidden Stag Station, and added the Dream Gate for instant travel between locations.
• Map and language support: Custom Map Markers let players record points of interest, while v1.1.1.4 added Italian and later updates added Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese.
• Combat and progression tuning: The March 14 balance changes strengthened Soul Eater, enlarged Cyclone Slash, increased the Quick Slash cost to three Notches on new files, slightly reduced Stalwart Shell’s invulnerability, and raised Geo rewards from Entombed Husk and Husk Hive. The White Palace wall was also remodelled to close a challenge bypass.
