Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch 4 Released, Brings Fan Mandarin Translation

Patch 4 for Hollow Knight: Silksong (version 1.0.29242) has now been released for PC players and is being directed to consoles. This update brings many important bug fixes — but the main highlight is the addition of a Simplified Chinese translation created by the highly regarded fan team, Team Cart Fix.

Chinese Translation from the Community

Team Cart Fix has actually long created this translation as a mod, and it has been enjoyed by thousands of players. The official patch version integrates this translation — built based on previous official translation elements — while maintaining character and location names consistent with the Hollow Knight world. In parts where the official translation was considered inaccurate or inconsistent, this fan team made corrections to keep the text faithful to the lore and story tone. Special thanks are extended to Team Cart Fix for their contribution.

Input System Improvements (Controller)

Behind the scenes, the developers have switched to Unity’s Input System to improve controller support. This is a major change that brings benefits such as support for more types of controllers and vibration features that now work across various devices. However, due to hardware complexity and cable/bluetooth combinations, some setups (e.g., wired Xbox 360 controller on macOS) might still require additional drivers — so if you encounter issues, check Unity’s input support list for more details.

Here is a summary of important changes included in Patch 4:

• Localization
  • Added Simplified Chinese translation (Team Cart Fix).
