Silksong achievement suggests it’ll take at least 10 hours longer to 100% complete compared to Hollow Knight—even for the fastest players

As the gaming community buzzes with excitement, the much-anticipated release of Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally arrived. While many players are diving headfirst into this new adventure, I find myself tethered to my desk, penning updates for those eager to stay informed amidst their own gaming quests. For those who may not be aware, Silksong introduces two distinct speedrun achievements that are sure to challenge even the most seasoned players.

Speedrun Achievements Unveiled

According to my achievement list, players can aim for the following:

  • Speedrunner: Complete the game in under five hours.
  • Speed Completion: Achieve 100% completion within 30 hours.

It’s important to note that while these targets may seem daunting, they do not imply that Silksong is a brief experience. In fact, the current world record for completing the original Hollow Knight stands at a mere 30 minutes. Yet, as my own gaming library reflects, I have spent a considerable 40 hours exploring the intricacies of Hallownest, not to mention the countless hours devoted to titles like Elden Ring and the broader FromSoftware catalog.

With the gaming landscape continually evolving, Hollow Knight: Silksong promises to be a captivating addition, drawing both veterans and newcomers into its rich world. As players embark on their journeys, the challenge of mastering speedrun achievements adds an exhilarating layer to the experience, ensuring that the excitement surrounding this title will endure long after the initial rush of its release.
