Hollow Knight Hits Peak Player Record Following Silksong Release Date Reveal

by

Eight years post its initial release, Hollow Knight has achieved a new high in player count on Steam. The recent surge in popularity can be attributed to the long-awaited unveiling of the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong, which fans have eagerly anticipated for quite some time.

At this moment, the game had reached a high of 22,260 players on Steam just three minutes prior. Given its current upward trajectory, we anticipate this figure to grow further as more users join in to explore Hollow Knight ahead of Silksong’s official launch date.

When is the Silksong Release?

Hollow Knight: Silksong is slated for release on September 4, 2025, which is eagerly awaited by many fans, particularly since the previous game came out nearly ten years prior.

At Gamescom’s latest Opening Night Live event, Team Cherry revealed a brand-new trailer for Silksong, with the climactic reveal being the official launch date of the game.

Since its trailer release during Opening Night Live, the initial game title “Hollow Knight” has seen a significant rise in popularity. At the time of this writing, Hollow Knight on Steam reached a new high player count. Previously, the highest number of players was around 20,300 back in May 2022; however, I can’t definitively say what triggered that increase.

As a devoted gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but sing the praises of Hollow Knight. This game has earned an extraordinary reputation, with an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam that translates to a staggering 97% positivity from over 136,000+ reviewers! It’s a true testament to its quality and the enjoyment it brings to players like me.

It’s easy to see why the anticipation is so high for the follow-up game.
