Hollow Knight: Silksong's Highly Anticipated Launch Causes Global Stir
The long wait is finally over! After years of anticipation and a period of relative silence, independent Australian developer Team Cherry has at last released Hollow Knight: Silksong. This sequel was, without a doubt, the most wishlisted game on Steam, and its launch has been nothing short of monumental.
From the very first moments of its release, gamers across the globe rushed to dive into the new adventure. The excitement proved so immense that the sheer volume of players temporarily caused outages across nearly all online stores distributing Silksong. Users reported issues and crashes on both PC storefronts and console digital shops, highlighting the unprecedented demand.
Meanwhile, the game's peak concurrent player count on Steam continues to climb rapidly. At the time of this report, Hollow Knight: Silksong had already surpassed 400,000 simultaneous players. While it's still early to draw final conclusions, the initial hours of gameplay have clearly delighted the audience. Steam currently shows over fifteen hundred reviews, with an overwhelming 97% rated as “overwhelmingly positive.”
The community's excitement is palpable, with players celebrating the release after years of eager waiting. One particularly enthusiastic fan humorously recounted their personal journey during the long development cycle: “While I waited, I managed to finish school, get my bachelor's and master's degrees, get married, secure a good job, buy a car, get a mortgage for an apartment, and even become a father. It turns out, achieving all my real-life goals was much easier than completing the Pantheon 100% in the first game!”
Hollow Knight: Silksong is now available on PC (via Steam and GOG), PlayStation consoles, Xbox consoles, and Nintendo Switch. The game also includes Russian text localization and is accessible through the Game Pass subscription service. This monumental launch marks a triumphant return for the beloved Metroidvania series, setting the stage for countless hours of exploration and challenging gameplay for fans worldwide.
