You can now escape the game’s very first boss. The first boss can now be skipped! That’s right. Just head off the game’s main paths and you’ll face far more difficult foes and situations, receiving more juicy rewards for your efforts. For skilled players, that old difficulty still awaits. The core game is now easier! That may sound crazy, given we’ve always pitched Hollow Knight as a challenging game, but after dying ourselves countless times we’ve tweaked things to be slightly more forgiving. Here are just a few of the changes we’ve made a result: Our internal playtesting of Hollow Knight’s has given us a whole tonne of important feedback. Last month we unveiled Noah Sturtridge’s Cloth and this month we’ve another: Meet Tiso, by backer Tiso Spencer. If they sound too daunting, don’t fret! Defeating them is entirely optional although doing so grants the player a major benefit.Īdded to the Warrior Ghosts and peaceful backer ghosts, we’ve been implementing backer NPCs.

Each ghost possesses unique weapons, attacks and patterns. So far, backer Warrior Ghosts have taken the bulk of the time and they’ve since become a huge component of the game, offering some of the toughest fights you’ll face. Lots of technical stuff is happening behind the scenes as well, with menus being finalised and snazzy grading systems all up and running.Īlongside our polishing and testing, we’ve had two major tasks: Backer and Stretch Goal content. Most of the game’s areas are now completely filled out and many are at a highly polished state. We’ve been heads down polishing, testing and adding even more to Hollow Knight.
