As reported by GamingOnLinux, Team Cherry delivered its promised ultrawide update to the original Hollow Knight on February 5. The patch is Hollow Knight's first since 2022, and also comes just a few weeks before the ninth anniversary of its launch on February 24. Here are the brief patch notes:
The aspect ratio additions are definitely the biggest change, though the bugfixes are certainly nice. Prior to this, there were mods on the Nexus for ultrawide support, but it's always preferable to not futz around just to properly use a display you paid bonkers bucks for. Proper 16:10, meanwhile, means no more annoying black bars when playing on Steam Deck, the scourge of on-the-go gamers everywhere.
Usually, a rising tide lifts all boats when it comes to arbitrary aspect ratios: Speaking as an obnoxious CRT guy, I love when a game gets ultrawide support, because that usually means it'll squash down to 4:3 nicely as well. That doesn't appear to be the case with Hollow Knight, but thankfully there are mods for both games that look like they get the job done.
