March 31, 2032 is an ordinary day for most people.

Probably because tomorrow is April Fool's Day, today I have begun to post some memes such as "April Fool's Day Confession" on the Internet.

"Can you fool me once on April Fool's Day?"

"I can't."

But for domestic gamers, today is an extraordinary day.

Since the release time of "Hollow Knight" was announced at the beginning of the year, everyone was still drinking champagne there.

But then some netizens discovered that the time of the Hollow Knight's release actually collided with April Fool's Day.

At that time, netizens also quarreled for another round of hot searches.

Was the original intention intentional or accidental?

A group of people persevered and bombed wildly under Luo Bai's blog post, and only then did they get a response that "it will definitely be released on time, and it collided with April Fool's Day", and then the big guy let Luo Bai go.

And as the time came to March 31, there was still some time for players to beat the drums in their hearts.

The official blog of Chuxin Game Studio publicly announced the lifting of the ban on the media score of "Hollow Knight", and it was also the first time that this news was released, and all major media reprinted the evaluation of "Hollow Knight" by mainstream game evaluation institutions.

IGN gave a rating of 9.6:

"As the second Aori-like game at the beginning, I couldn't help but have higher expectations for this game at the beginning of the first experience.

It turns out that Chuxin has done a good job.

Hollow Knight is rich in explorable content and crypts, and the game depicts a rich, compelling world full of stories waiting to be unearthed.

The quest is full of secrets and fun, as well as the battle with enemies, and the time spent in Hollow Knight is well worth it. ”

Network gave it a 9.4 rating:

"It's a side-scrolling game that is very easy to entangle players. On the one hand, it's good-looking, it's fun, and the story has depth.

On the other hand, the game has an excessively difficult level.

The former constantly lures players to explore and enjoy more levels and beautiful scenery; The latter is a hindrance on the way to exploration, setting up difficult obstacles and leaving players in a dilemma. ”

The lifting of the ban on media ratings undoubtedly shows that the Hollow Knight is indeed done.

Countless players at home and abroad can finally open champagne and wait for the moment when the game is officially released tomorrow, and some people have expressed their strangeness to the reviews of the game media.

"Is the Hollow Knight hard? How does it compare to Okuri? ”

"Who knows? Won't you know when you really start playing tomorrow? ”

"No matter how hard it is, it can be harder than the Dark Dungeon? I've beaten this game! ”

"The difficulty of an action game is not the same as a strategy game, so don't compare the upstairs games."

Under the anticipation of countless players, time flashed to April 1st, April Fool's Day.

Hollow Knight will be released simultaneously on all platforms!

……

“Hello！ Hello friends, I am your old friend Erxiao! ”

Every time a new work is released, this woman is always indispensable.

If the original fan base camp at the beginning was still a joke in Erxiao's fan base, but as time went by, people in the game circle basically recognized this statement.

No, as soon as "Hollow Knight" was released, countless players immediately poured into the inside of the live broadcast room.

"Check in!"

"This woman's name is Xiaomei, and the new audience may not know her, but in fact, you don't need to know her."

"Xiaoxiao, I heard that the game is difficult, don't give up halfway through the game like last time."

Er Xiao crossed his arms, his face full of disapproval:

"Dark Dungeon is just that I don't like that type of game, action games, I'm a master!"

"Anyway, how many times has the Tree of Erxiao Silver died?"

"Anyway, it's dozens of times bigger, it's kind of funny."

In the enthusiastic communication and discussion of the audience in the live broadcast room, the game was downloaded.

A small knight's head appears on the table.

Hollow Knight Launched!

[Chuxin Game Studio]

The logo of the original heart disappeared in a flash, and the game officially entered the main interface.

It was a background shrouded in pitch black, but it wasn't completely painted black, and the black had a tulle-like texture, like a cloud of smoke, rising up.

The four big characters of "Hollow Knight" are very symmetrical in the center directly above the main interface.

[Play Game]

[Options]

[Achievement]

[Extras]

[Exit Game]

It's over!

Play on!

The screen flashed, and the game officially entered the mode selection interface.

[Classic Mode: Normal Game Mode]

[Soul of Steel: Cannot be resurrected, death is permanent.] ]

At this time, the audience was quite frightened by these two options.

"Turtle Turtle, this difficulty distinction is much more outrageous than the Dark Dungeon, and if you die, you will die forever."

"No wonder the game media says this game is difficult, but don't you just choose this mode?"

"Is it possible that people are playing in classic mode?"

"The Iron Soul is purely for the big hands who like to challenge themselves, just ignore it."

Erxiao ignored the players on the barrage who let him choose Iron Soul,

The game has officially begun.

[In the distant wilderness, the mention of your name is full of awe and regret, no one can tame our savage souls, and you have accepted the challenge.]

Under the palest gaze, you professor, we change, and our instincts are redeemed. You have brought bugs and beasts worlds they never dreamed of.

—From "Elegy for the Hallownest", written by teacher Monomont]

After this paragraph, there are two CGs that are exactly the same as the first promotional video of "Hollow Knight".

"Something."

"Does anyone think that the little knight's eyes resemble two large nostrils?"

"Laughing to death, the nostrils are okay, I can't look directly at the little knight's face."

The CG ends with the little knight looking into the distance at the town that leads to a path illuminated by countless street lamps.

The game officially begins, and our protagonist, the little knight, falls vertically from a high valley, and the small cloak behind him is shaken by the air current, revealing two cute little short legs underneath.

"Lovely! Lovely! ”

Er Xiao also gave a thumbs up here: "It's really cute." ”

With a loud pop, the little knight fell to the ground with a bang, startling a burst of ravens.

At this time, the map that was exactly the same as the one seen in the second PV appeared in front of all the audience.

The joystick of the handle is twisted left and right, and the little knight also walks left and right.

A is a jump, X is an attack, but B and Y don't have any reactions, I don't know if the ability hasn't been unlocked yet.

Standing in place, Er Xiao slashed the air, jumped and slashed the air, and soon became familiar with some of the most basic operations.

"Don't waste time, GKD, move on!"

The audience was so anxious that they practiced urging, but Er Xiao, who saw this news, did not move forward directly, but walked behind him.

To the surprise of all the spectators, as the little knight walked into the rock wall blocked by rocks behind him, a new map suddenly appeared in front of all the spectators!

A small earthen bag made of shell-like stuff appeared in the center of the small cavern.

Looking at the question marks on the screen, Er Xiao smiled very proudly.

"You guys, have you ever played Ori? Coming across a place where you don't explore every small room that might be hidden in the background, you also deserve to be called an Ouri fan? ”

Well-founded! Convincing!
