The Pale Court mod, a new fanmade addition to Hollow Knight, introduces a wealth of captivating and visually stunning content to Team Cherry's celebrated indie game. This exciting creation aims to appease the devoted fans patiently awaiting the delayed release of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Despite being over six years old, the original Hollow Knight remains etched in the minds of its fans. With the sequel's release continuously postponed, much to the disappointment of enthusiasts, many have returned to the original game, immersing themselves in its vast and intricate world. In their quest to offset the absence of fresh content, some dedicated fans have taken matters into their own hands, birthing the Pale Court mod.
After a significant development period, the highly anticipated Hollow Knight Pale Court mod has finally been released online. This mod introduces an abundance of fresh content to the game, with a particular emphasis on the addition of new bosses. The trailer showcases these formidable foes, demonstrating their ability to pose a challenge for even the most experienced players of the Metroidvania genre. In addition to the new bosses, the Pale Court mod includes charming new features such as charms, music, and artwork that seamlessly integrate into the Hollow Knight universe. While detailed information about the new bosses and charms is still scarce, there is speculation about intriguing hidden secrets. Fans have already begun to showcase the potential overpowered nature of some of the new charms. Unfortunately, the mod is currently only accessible through Scarab+, a PC-exclusive mod installer for Hollow Knight, leaving console players unable to experience this fan-created content. However, there remains the possibility that Team Cherry, the game's developers, may officially endorse and release a version of the mod in the future, as seen with the successful collaboration between Sega and modders for Sonic Mania.
The release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong is still unknown, and there is concern among fans that it may be delayed until 2024. The game's showcased content suggests that Silksong will bring exciting changes and increase the intensity of the legendary boss battles from the previous game. However, until players can experience it firsthand, the unofficial Pale Court mod created by fans will provide a reason to revisit the Hollow Knight world. Hollow Knight is currently available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
