The anticipation of the official sale of Knights of the Hole: A Song of the Silk, has quickly generated amazing sales figures. Five minutes of game sales attracted 5,000 simultaneous online players, climbing to 50,000 in 30 minutes and over 100,000 in 45 minutes. At the same time, the number of online players peaked at 53,5213 and was at the top three of Steam ‘ s most popular games.
It is noteworthy that this was achieved against the backdrop of a serious technical malfunction on the Steam platform. For the first time, the distribution of The Song of Thin led to the collapse of the platform as a result of the simultaneous influx of players, and a large number of players experienced problems in accessing shop pages, and in purchasing and starting games.
By contrast, the highest number of online players with a record of 72,961 in the history of the former Knights of the Hole, released in 2017, was just refreshed the day before the release of the Song of the Thread, and the heat of the retrospect significantly energized the original.
Based on player habits and historical data patterns, the steam game usually peaks at weekends, and the number of players in the Song of silk is expected to continue to climb over the next two days. With regard to the mainframe platform, although specific data on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 are not available, according to Nintendo media, the book has been placed on the Switch 2 eShop sales list. It should be noted that Xbox and PC platforms can be used to subscribe to free tours through Game Pass, so simply sales data may not fully reflect their actual sales coverage. In addition, there were technical problems with the distribution of the host edition of The Song of silk.
The original Knight of the Hole has now surpassed 15 million copies worldwide, and according to the news, watching The Song of the Silk is a prize for the fall of the “Hornnet” thematic emblem, which is the main part of Team Cherry’s long-awaited continuation.
It’s for years of development.The development team said it wasn’t “development hell” because of the project.Instead, the great success of the first generation allowed this small team to elaborate on its own rhythm. At the same time, the reprogramming of the project, which was originally an extension of the Vaccinary Knights, to stand-alone games, is an important factor in the longer development time.
