Aside from the big updates, this

is also a welcome addition for traveling through the sewer.

Huge update today and we’re leading with the biggest news of all: Hollow Knight’s second Free Content Pack, The Grimm Troupe! This Halloween, Grimm and his Troupe arrive, free for all players. What’s packed in for this chilling expansion? Let’s jump into the details:

New Major Quest – Light the Nightmare Lantern and summon the Grimm Troupe to Hallownest, if you dare! Take part in a twisted ritual that stretches the breadth of the kingdom and bestows the player with a powerful new ally.
New Boss Fights – What epic quest is complete without epic show-downs? Get ready to face off against a dark new foe and a twisted scarlet spectre. Who are they? What brings them to Hallownest? We won’t spoil the surprise!
4 New Charms – We’re going all out with the quest, but that’s not enough! Your charm range is also expanding, granting unique new aids and abilities. You’ll have to discover their powers for yourself, but their appearance may give a few hints.
New Enemies – The arrival of the Troupe doesn’t just mean enormous boss encounters, it also brings new smaller (but challenging!) foes to test your nail and spells against. Your Hunter’s Journal is going to be overflowing by the time your done!
New Friends – Grimm’s clan may appear scary but they aren’t all bad. Get ready to befriend a new bunch of weirdos, including one who offers a very special service for players flush with Geo!
New Music – Tying this whole cavalcade together are all new spooky and spine tingling tracks by Christopher Larkin. Get ready to feel the fear!
Map Markers – In a world as big as Hallownest finding your way is the greatest challenge of all, and you’ll now have an extra tool in your cartographic journeys with custom Map Markers! Place them anywhere on your maps to remember a point of interest, a difficult foe or an item just out of reach.

Grimm’s quest, and all other new features can be accessed at any point in your Hollow Knight journey. Muster your courage and summon the Troupe! Descending this Halloween.

More Languages

Alongside the arrival of the Grimm Troupe, we’ll be launching Hollow Knight in 3 new languages: Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese! Thank you to our fantastic translators for making it through HK’s enormous script without dying, and thanks to fans for all the language requests.

GOG Galaxy

The final item on the list of Halloween updates: The full suite of GOG Galaxy features will be made available with this expansion’s debut. Expect cloud saves, achievements, and swifter updates. Thanks to the fantastic folks at GOG for all their help along the way.

Phew! That’s the huge one. Now let’s get into all the other big news! There’s just so much here.
I wish they would focus on the performance before they add more content. I can't even enjoy the content from the original release because I keep getting regular dips into <10 FPS. This is with an i7 6700k and an RX580!
Expansion is out.
Achievement implementation is here as well. Thanks #TeamCherry!

amurgaming: Achievement implementation is here as well. Thanks #TeamCherry!
Would be even better if this implementation and this update would not have been broken several of the achievements already achieved in game which at least for me makes this Galaxy Achievements completely useless for now.
