Silksong beta lets Silk Soar pass through top scene exits, sparking disbelief

Nearly half a year after Team Cherry released Hollow Knight: Silksong, the developers are still updating the Metroidvania. The most recent beta, version 1.0.29740 on the public Steam branch, lists a range of fixes, tweaks and translation updates and includes a headline change: "Allowed Silk Soar through top scene exits." That tweak lets Silk Soar carry players through transitions — no more ceilings — and opened up new routing possibilities that could produce some striking clips.

Fans began sharing videos online just hours after the beta went live. One post shared a clip with the remark, "A new public beta/patch of Silksong is out, and now the Silk Soar has no limit, so you can see how insane the map of Silksong is in 30 seconds." Comments ranged from excitement to disbelief.

"Is this a Silkpost or is it real?" a user asked, then: "Holy fuck, it's real." Another Reddit reaction read, "They updated Silk Soar!!!" Replies included, "Wait, what did they change?
