by

For years, many wondered if Hollow Knight Silksong would ever actually come out. Now, it’s not only playable, but has also achieved a major accomplishment just three months after its release.

Hollow Knight first came out in 2017 and quickly became a fan favorite, earning its place as one of the best indie games of the last ten years. Created by a small development team, it was praised for its challenging but satisfying combat, beautiful artwork, and vast, interconnected game world. So, it’s no surprise they started working on downloadable content.

Silksong evolved into a full-fledged game, complete with brand new areas to explore, enemies to battle, gameplay features, and a new protagonist. This ambitious scope resulted in an incredibly long and highly anticipated wait, and when it finally launched, it became a massive online sensation, achieving remarkable sales figures.
