The long-awaited sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, has finally arrived. Following an extensive wait, Team Cherry`s successor to their highly successful 2017 title is now available, bringing with it a Twitch Drops event to acquire an exclusive global badge.
Twitch badges offer a unique customization option, appearing alongside your username in streamer chats, distinguishing them from standard emotes. Previously, a similar badge for Elden Ring Nightreign`s Wylder was obtainable by capturing gameplay clips from streamers.
For Hollow Knight: Silksong, players can obtain the special Hornet badge, featuring the new protagonist, by subscribing to any participating Twitch channel. This promotional event is currently active and concludes on September 13th. Fans of the franchise who wish to display their appreciation on Twitch should act quickly, as this badge will not be available through other means after the deadline.
The launch of Silksong was met with such overwhelming demand that it caused several digital storefronts, including Xbox—which offered the game on Game Pass from day one—to experience service disruptions. Even with widespread announcements of the release schedule, the immense popularity of the game, likely amplified by its accessible pricing, surpassed all expectations.
