The new Hollow Knight game, called Hollow Knight: Silksong, is getting really popular on Steam. It’s becoming the most wished-for game, and it might even be the number one most wished-for game this month.
Right now, Party Animals is the most popular multiplayer game. But on September 20, a new game is coming out, and when it does, Party Animals won’t be at the top anymore. The game that’s currently in second place will become the new top game, and you can probably guess which game that is.
Silksong is the sequel to a really awesome game, and many people want to play it. In the past two years, we’ve heard some exciting news about it. At an Xbox event last year, Xbox creator head Sarah Bond said that everything they showed that day would be ready to play in the next 12 months, including Silksong.
But just because you can play it doesn’t mean it’s ready to buy. The people making Silksong, Team Cherry, actually decided to delay the game in May. They said it would come out in the first half of 2023, but they wanted to make it even better, so they needed more time.
Team Cherry’s marketing and publishing manager, Matthew Griffin, said “Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong. We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.”

Okami Games commented, ‘Thanks for the update. Take whatever time you need. Also make sure you guys are taking care of yourselves.”
Creator of Orogeddon, EliteCraft, Permadeath also commented, “Keep going! Keep pushing! No rush at all, take your time and deliver a polished game.”
Hollow Knight: Silksong is developed by Team Cherry, an indie studio based in Adelaide, Australia. The game was originally announced in February 2019 as a DLC for Hollow Knight but later expanded into a full-fledged sequel due to the scope and scale of the project.
The game has been delayed several times since then, but Team Cherry has assured fans that they are working hard to deliver the best possible experience.
