Following Nintendo’s latest stream’s announcement of a Switch 2 version, Team Cherry has put out a new Hollow Knight patch that adds a lot of new stuff for whoever intends on purchasing the new, old release.
As such the Hollow Knight Patch 1.5.12459 is already up for grabs and, for anyone who has the game installed, the download should come automatically across all platforms including the Switch 2.
Having said that, despite the good looking trailer from yesterday (see below), gamers should not expect anything new in terms of content — this is the first game and Silksong is still making tons of waves and even has a DLC coming, after all. The biggest highlight of the new Hollow Knight patch comes in the form of resolution upgrade support, as now the game is also viewable in 21:9 and 16:10 framing.
Other changes include a much welcome automatic pause whenever navigating through the menus and broader controller support via Unity Input System.
Check out the full patch notes below:
