In a recent announcement, Team Cherry revealed they are committed to enhancing the simplified Chinese translation of their much-anticipated title, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Despite enjoying a Mostly Positive rating on Steam, the game has faced a wave of criticism from the Chinese gaming community, with tens of thousands voicing their dissatisfaction about the localization's lack of nuance and accuracy.

Matthew Griffin from Team Cherry took to X/Twitter to express gratitude for the feedback from players, stating, "To our Chinese speaking fans: We appreciate you letting us know about quality issues with the current Simplified Chinese translation of Hollow Knight: Silksong. We’ll be working to improve the translation over the coming weeks. Thanks for your feedback and support."

Currently, only 38% of reviews for the simplified Chinese version are positive, indicating a significant need for improvement. Team Cherry’s commitment to address these concerns is a promising step towards pleasing their dedicated fanbase.

As developers listen and strive to refine their work, players can look forward to a version of Silksong that truly resonates with Chinese audiences, ensuring that the charm and depth of the game shine through in every translation.
