Hollow Knight Silksong is set to launch on September 4, 2025 – while fans are exuberantly celebrating, indie developers are shaking in fear. After all, this platformer is the most sought-after game on Steam and has been long anticipated!
The outcome: some developers are delaying their releases to avoid clashing with Silksong’s launch. “When the GTA of indie games is revealed two weeks ahead of time, everyone panics,” states Necrosoft Games on X. Their tactical RPG Demonschool was initially planned for release on September 3, but those plans have now been pushed back by nearly two months.
Devolver is reaching similar conclusions: As revealed in the trailer above, the skill-based game Baby Steps will be delayed until September 23. True to Devolver’s style, they are taking the situation light-heartedly: “Nate is allergic to hornets,” it states on Steam. This is a nod to Silksong’s main character, Hornet.
