What's that I hear? Tinkly soft and the crashing of waves. Oh, it's Hollow Knight: Silksong's archetypal large expansion, which devs Team Cherry person conscionable announced volition beryllium coasting up to the enactment immoderate constituent adjacent year. It's called Sea of Sorrow, and arsenic specified looks to incorporate plentifulness of somber staring into the splashy swell.

Team Cherry announced this forthcoming summation to the metroidvania via the trailer supra and a blog post, besides noting that the nautically-themed Sea of Sorrow'll beryllium "free for each players". It'll see "new areas, bosses, tools, and more".

The trailer itself's made up of 4 shots. Two are conscionable immoderate sportfishing hooks and the changeable of Hornet from the update's cardinal art, but successful betwixt are a mates that could person much intrigue to them. First's a changeable of immoderate carnal oregon entity resting atop a woody level and tied nether a sheet, somewhat resembling a tomb. Then, there's a changeable of an ornate, but damaged, solid and golden operation being struck by crackling lightning. It's besides littered with what look similar discarded bug wings.

What the skong does immoderate of that mean? Well, I'm obscurity adjacent dialled capable into the Hollow Knightverse to speculate, with Team Cherry promising much volition beryllium revealed anterior to release.

In the meantime, the workplace person released a beta update for the Steam and GOG PC versions of the archetypal Hollow Knight, to coincide with it being released connected immoderate instrumentality from an obscure institution called Tin Nendo. Nah, I've ne'er heard of them either. The PC update's headlined by enactment for 16:10 and 21:9 facet ratios and other controller support. Team Cherry person besides sought to trim immoderate colour banding and made the crippled intermission automatically erstwhile you unfastened up your inventory.

Aside from that, determination are immoderate wide bug fixes, and 1 occupation connected Steam Deck you'll inactive person to enactment astir for now.

"We are moving connected a hole for this, but for present it tin beryllium worked astir by selecting a 'Linux Runtime' mentation successful the compatibility settings, which forces the strategy to usage the Linux-native mentation of the game."

As usual, instructions arsenic to however to opt into the beta tin beryllium recovered successful Team Cherry's station astir it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to spell and bargain immoderate Hornet-sized armbands and a rubber ring.
