Are you ready for Hollow Knight: Silksong? Well, by my count, about 22,941 players are desperate for another fix of Team Cherry's work, a number that'll continue to rise over the intervening minutes of me sitting down and writing this article.
Per , Hollow Knight: Silksong's release date of September 4 has driven swarms of players to the original game; either to get that sweet, sweet hit of nostalgia, or just to panic-finish it so they have the foggiest clue about what's going on in the sequel.
After all, Hollow Knight takes after yono business sbi metroidvania and souls games—metroidvanias in that it has a large, sprawling 2D world with a lot of backtracking, and souls games in that it has (alongside bonfire-style benches and an emphasis on difficulty) a kinda obtuse story that's fuelled many-a-video essayist. I can imagine anyone not brushed up on their Hallownest lore might want to cream a study session or two in before the sequel.
Anyway, it's not too surprising—two weeks is actually the perfect amount of time to knock out a new Hollow Knight playthrough if you've got yono business a 9-5 job. Dipping onto Steam, my playtime reaches around 43 hours, which includes mucking about with its various DLCs. Who knows, I might knock out another 40—I'm hankering for some bug action myself.
If a substantial number of those players are new, and not just nostalgia-hounds, this'll be a nice windfall for Team Cherry—giving its devs another big ol' window with which to have a great time . rummy meet And , whatever the studio's cooking up next will be well worth the wait, too. Also, the all-time peak's now 23,819. We're going to the moon, baby.
