by

Hollow Knight: Silksong, which frequently led the list of desired games on Steam, has been dethroned by the release of Subnautica 2. On Steam, users can compile a list of games they wish to play in the future, and the platform ranks these based on popularity. This feature allows Steam users to stay updated about the most-awaited games, and potentially discover an upcoming title that catches their interest as well.

It’s no wonder that the highly anticipated title, “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” has been dominating Steam wishlists for quite some time. The original “Hollow Knight,” often recognized as a standout Metroidvania game and one of the best in its genre, has certainly set the stage for its sequel’s success. Announced in 2019, the much-awaited release of “Silksong” has generated an impressive amount of excitement among fans. Now that the game is finally out (following a brief disruption on Steam and other digital platforms), enthusiasts will need to start exploring new games on their wishlists.

How intriguing it would be to see how long Subnautica 2 manages to maintain its position as number one when it’s finally released. For those not familiar with the franchise, Subnautica 2 is an open-world survival game that immerses players in a world of alien underwater landscapes filled with mystery. The game offers cooperative play for up to four participants, intricate crafting systems, and numerous biomes teeming with diverse lifeforms to investigate.
