Yesterday, Team Cherry surprised us all with the shadow drop release of Hollow Knight – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/a> (at least, it would have been a surprise if its PEGI rating hadn’t cropped up online before), and the studio snuck out a new update to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n

The ver. 1.5.12459 update isn’t packed with game-changing additions, but it’s always nice to see Team Cherry fine-tuning the experience. Alongside new screen resolution support for PC players, the patch also introduces “many under-the-hood improvements brought over from Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/a> to the original game,” Team Cherry said in a blog post<\/a>. And yes, this update is available on both Switch 1 and<\/em> 2.<\/p>\n

The full patch notes were shared in an announcement on Steam<\/a>, and we have gathered them together for you to check out below:<\/p>\n

The new Switch 2 version of Hollow Knight boasts improved resolution, frame rate, and a handful of additional effects, with a new 120fps option to boot.
