The first update — which will be version 1.0.28470 — mainly focuses on early-game balance tweaks and bug fixes - with changes to "early game bosses Moorwing and Sister Splinter" a priority.

Team Cherry's follow-up to Hollow: Knight has gotten off to a blinder so far, amassing over half a million concurrent players on Steam shortly after launch - and that doesn't count Game Pass players! In fact, it was so popular on day one that it briefly crashed storefronts including the Xbox Store, before things smoothed out not long afterwards. Here's hoping this patch makes for an improved experience for players overall!
