In a remarkable turn of events, the highly-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight, Silksong, has been met with unprecedented success. Developed by Team Cherry, the game was released to the delight of fans who had been eagerly waiting since its initial announcement in 2019.
Silksong, a $20 sequel, has quickly become one of the most downloaded PC game releases ever. The game reached over 359,000 viewers on Twitch and, just a few hours after its release, attracted over 535,000 players simultaneously. This milestone surpasses the original Hollow Knight's concurrent player count of 72,916.
The success of Silksong has not gone unnoticed. It has been listed alongside Apex Legends, Path of Exile 2, and other popular games in terms of downloads. The game has also received an overwhelming response from fans, with an overwhelmingly positive user review rating on Steam, boasting over 33,000 reviews.
However, the success of Silksong has led to a temporary disruption in services on gaming platforms like Steam, Nintendo eStore, PlayStation, and Xbox. Despite this, Team Cherry has expressed their gratitude for the support and promised to address issues with the Simplified Chinese translation, which has received some criticism.
The launch of Silksong, despite initial concerns about a demanding difficulty curve and the quality of the Simplified Chinese translation, has been largely positive. The game's success is a testament to the dedication of Team Cherry and the passion of the Hollow Knight community.
As the dust settles and services return to normal, it's clear that Hollow Knight: Silksong has made a significant impact in the gaming world. The sequel to the beloved indie game has proven to be a resounding success, and fans can look forward to more exciting adventures in the world of Hollow Knight.
