Hollow Knight, which received some pretty good reviews, set a new record exactly four years after its release. The game, which is considered one of the best examples of the Metroidvania genre, recently managed to surpass the numbers it caught when it was at the peak of its popularity.
According to SteamDB, Hollow Knight broke its own record by hosting 12,891 players simultaneously on August 5, 2021. When I write the lines, I can see there are 6,843 people in the game. The interesting thing about this record is that it doesn’t trigger the rise.
In February 2017, team cherry’s game became a darling of independent gamers. The game, which managed to create an audience for itself in a short time, also played a part in the emergence of many games of the same genre.
