Hollow Knight Reaches New Franchise Record on Steam - IGN Daily Fix

Description:

Hollow Knight: Silksong is barely two weeks away, and gamers seem to be flooding back to the original in preparation. According to SteamDB, 2017's Hollow Knight hit an all-time concurrent high with 23,840 players this week, a franchise peak even though it isn't the most concurrent across all Steam games. In other news, Donkey Kong Bananza's somewhat controversial control scheme came at the suggestion of Donkey Kong creator Shigeru Miyamoto; Bananza's game director, Kazuya Takahashi, revealed that it was Miyamoto's idea, but they left the option to swap the 'punch down' and 'jump' buttons in case players had a hard time re‑wiring their muscle memory.
