- Hollow Knight: Silksong now has a multiplayer PvP mod with 30-player support and a limited co-op experience.
- The mod lets players only take on the Fourth Chorus boss together so far, as it is early in development.
- The mod only works with the Steam version and will get more features over time.
Despite staggering success, Hollow Knight: Silksong has found itself in a string of controversies after launch. The sequel was reviewed negatively en masse due to its difficulty. That’s where modders made the experience better for the struggling players.
Now, a modder has fulfilled another major request of the fans by whipping up a multiplayer PvP mod with 30-player support. Created by XvX, the mod also boasts a limited co-op mode, letting players fight the fourth Chorus boss for testing purposes.
Why it matters: Hollow Knight: Silksong getting a multiplayer mod a few weeks after launch shows that the community demands an official co-op and PvP experience. The mod will also get more features with time.
The video showcases multiple hornets flooding the gameplay. The Fourth Chorus battle is extremely chaotic but satisfying, with players synchronously attacking the boss until it’s taken down. However, the current version is more of a test than a proper mod.
Everyone except the host needs to activate the boss first, and no player should have already defeated it; only then can the host activate it. It’s also essential that the host doesn’t die because the boss becomes uncontrollable.
The mod only works with the Steam version of the game. The file needs to be unzipped to the root directory, and the host can click on the ‘create room’ option and then ‘invite players’ in the game after everyone agrees to join.
The co-op feature is expected to come to the rest of the game bosses in the future, with the synchronized damage system likely also being added for smaller enemies along the way.
The fans are also asking for a way to differentiate one player from another, which can be done via a skin system or simply by making other players have lower opacity. It can be downloaded from the Nexus Mods site.
