Steam and Nintendo eShop Down on Sept. 4 Due to Hollow Knight: Silksong Launch
With Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launching after all these years, it seems demand for it is so high that it crashed two digital storefronts! Both Steam and the Nintendo eShop are facing outages this September 4, with users thousands of reports surfacing.
While I was aware of interest in the sequel to 2017’s Hollow Knight, I don’t think anyone could have predicted this.
Steam and Nintendo eShop Goes Down and Offline Thanks to Silksong
Downdetector has mentioned over 9,000 reports have surfaced for Steam’s status, which seems to be normalizing somewhat now, though there are those who are still seeing issues on the app.
Chances are, it’ll sort itself out in an hour or two, so no need to panic.
If you’re interested in picking up Silksong, here’s a look at the game’s features:
- Discover the fallen insect kingdom of Pharloom! Explore mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors as you ascend to the shining citadel at the top of the world.
- Engage in lethal acrobatic action! Wield a huge suite of deadly moves as you dance between foes in swift, beautiful combat.
- Craft powerful tools! Master an ever-expanding arsenal of weapons, traps, and mechanisms to vanquish your enemies and explore new heights.
- Solve shocking quests! Hunt down rare beasts and solve ancient mysteries to grant the wishes of the downtrodden and restore the kingdom’s hope.
- Face over 200 ferocious foes! Beasts and hunters, monsters and knights. Defeat them all with bravery and skill!
- Vanquish over 40 legendary bosses! Battle fabled heroes and fallen kings in epic combat to decide the kingdom’s fate.
- Challenge Steel Soul mode! Once you conquer the kingdom, test your skills in a new mode that presents a more formidable challenge.
- Experience a stunning orchestral score! Hollow Knight’s award-winning composer, Christopher Larkin, brings melancholy melodies, symphonic strings and heart-thumping, soul strumming boss themes to the adventure.
